In the 13 years that I have surveyed my constituents in advance of each legislative session, the challenges have never been greater. Budget analysts estimate a $400 million shortfall for next fiscal year. Over the last three years, we've cut almost $1 billion from a $5.8 billion budget as we try to cope with diminished revenue resulting from the recession. Constitutionally, NM must have a balanced budget, but we are running out of options.
Please let me know what you think by taking the time to fill out this survey before the session starts January 18. Here's the link... http://bit.ly/fntPVz Democracy is a two-way (actually multi-way) street.
With the Warmest of Seasons Greetings,

I am a Garfield Middle school.
We are suffering from budget cuts.
I may be incorrect but maybe you could
tax wall mart and movie makers more
to help with the money issue.
