March 8 - Bill To Funnel Lottery Revenue Into Scholarships Awaits Signature As Deadline Approaches

One of the last bills passed by the New Mexico State Legislature was SB79, which would take unclaimed lottery prize money and put it into more scholarships for college students.  The bill passed the Senate on a vote of 35 to 4, and it also passed the House, but as KSFR’s Deborah Martinez reports, it has yet to gain approval from the governor, and her deadline to sign or veto bills is tomorrow.
