Slash 4: APS Faces Another $19M in Cuts

The Legislative Finance Committee announced that New Mexico's revenue projections are lower for this budget year, and as a result, more cuts are coming. Those cuts are projected to be $19 million for APS.

The cuts are real, folks, and it's up to us--to each and every one of you--to step up, get involved, stop LETTING these things happen, and START MAKING THE RIGHT THINGS HAPPEN.
