NO MORE CUTS New Mexico!

In a shocking and disturbing move, Governor Susana Martinez recently vetoed all funding for higher education in New Mexico.  That’s right:  ALL funding for colleges and universities—including affiliated facilities like the state Dept. of Agriculture at NMSU, Carrie Tingley Children's Hospital, and substance abuse, nursing expansion and early childhood programs around the state. Without action by the state legislature, the lights will go out at colleges and universities around the state on July 1. The good news is that the legislature can fix the Governor’s mess.
