SANTA, NM (AP) – The Governor of New Mexico Michel Logan Griemeh signed a set of bills on Friday that aims to increase food assistance, rural health care and public broadcasting in response to recently enact federal discounts.
The new legislation responds to the Significance of President Donald Trump, as well as the fear that health insurance rates will rise with the end of Kofid’s reign to exchange a reasonable care law in New Mexico. On the stock exchange is a major point of disagreement against the budget in Washington and the closure of the relevant federal government.
New Mexico will allocate $ 17 million to cancel federal credit if not renewed, according to legislation signed by the ruler.
The Democratic Legislative Commission met on Wednesday and Thursday for approval of $ 162 million in government spending on rural health care, food assistance, re -placing food banks, public broadcasting and more.
Starting this year, New Mexico expects to lose about $ 200 million annually due to the new federal tax cuts. But the state still has a large budget surplus thanks to the prosperous oil production.
“When federal support decreases, New Mexico climbs,” Logan Griemeh said in a statement.
Many changes in federal health care under the Trump Grand Bill do not start until 2027 or later, and Democratic lawmakers in New Mexico admitted that their bills are only a temporary bandage.
