More NM Mayors Call For Special Session To Pass Key Bill

The list of mayors urging Gov. Susana Martinez to call a special session to consider funding more than $260 million in public improvement projects has doubled to nearly 100.

The New Mexico Municipal League sent a second letter to the governor last week adding signatures of an additional 44 mayors from across the state.

All are asking the New Mexico Senate and House of Representatives to craft a mutually acceptable capital outlay bill. It stalled on the final day of the legislative session in March and much finger-pointing has followed.

Martinez's office says it has been working with leaders from both parties. Legislative leaders also have been talking.

There's no indication yet that any agreements have been reached. A bill would have to be done no later than May 15.
