FROM NEW MEXICO’S STANDPOINT, THERE IS SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD IN PRESIDENT TRUMP’S BUDGET RELEASED THURSDAY. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, WHICH OVERSEES SANDIA AND LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABS, WOULD SEE AN 11 PERCENT INCREASE IN SPENDING.
BUT OTHER AGENCIES THAT HAVE A BIG IMPACT IN NEW MEXICO DON’T DO AS WELL. THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT IS SLATED FOR A 12 PERCENT CUT…WHILE THE AG DEPARTMENT IS IN FOR A 20 PERCENT REDUCTION.
