Gov. Martinez Has No Plans To Call A Special Session

Gov. Susana Martinez said Monday she has no plans to hold a special session of the state Legislature to address the absence of a capital improvements budget unless Democratic Senate leadership is willing to work with her ahead of time on key points. Otherwise, “I don’t expect a different result,” the Republican governor told about 540 business people at a luncheon of NAIOP, the commercial real estate development association. “That was extremely disappointing to watch,” she said of lawmakers’ failure to pass a capital outlay bill that would have funded $264 million in roads, senior centers, public buildings and other infrastructure improvements.
