Issues: Infrastructure Natural Resources

New Mexico is still suffering through an epic drought, and water must be used wisely and more efficiently than ever before. Governor Martinez is asking the legislature for the following measures, which I generally support:
Use a significant amount of this year's capital outlay for water infrastructure
$2M to the New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI) for critical research on water issues
$250,000 for Water Technical Assistance Fund
$200,000 for Dry Community Water Emergency Fund
