Good afternoon NFBNM Members and Friends,

 

I strongly urge as many who are able, to attend this Budget Hearing of the
House Appropriations and Finance Committee of the New Mexico Legislature.
The meeting is being held Tuesday afternoon beginning at 1:30 at the
Roundhouse. Please see the below email for all the details. Let's show up to
support our partner, the New Mexico Commission for the Blind.

 

Thank you,

Tara

Subject: Commission for the Blind Budget Hearing at the Roundhouse on
Tuesday Afternoon, January 28

 

 

The Commission for the Blind will have our budget hearing before the House
Appropriations and Finance Committee (HAFC) on Tuesday, January 28. The
hearing will start at 1:30 PM, and it will be before HAFC Subcommittee B. It
is scheduled in Room 309. The hearing will be at the Roundhouse. We will be
on a docket with other agencies, so it is difficult to know when the
Commission's budget will actually be heard. We should have a better idea on
Monday, and I will send out an update. 

 

The Governor recommended a 13.6% increase in our budget, but the Legislative
Finance Committee (LFC) is only recommending a 3.6% increase. All are
welcome to attend, and a strong showing helps to demonstrate public support.


 

Thanks,

 

Greg
