"New Mexico Governor's Agenda: Surplus Allocation for Crime, Homelessness, and Climate Change"

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham plans to use the state's multibillion-dollar surplus to combat violent crime, homelessness, and climate change, as well as address concerns about drought. She is proposing a significant increase in annual spending, including initiatives to expand down payment assistance, reduce homelessness, and implement public safety measures such as gun control proposals. The legislative minority is cautious about potential infringements on gun rights, while the entire Legislature is up for election in November.
