/tags/new-mexico-foundation-for-open-government New Mexico Foundation for Open Government en-US Copyright Wed, 19 Apr 2023 00:43:26 GMT /show/lets-talk-new-mexico/2023-04-18/lets-talk-transparency-and-the-legislature The 2023 legislative session is in the rearview mirror, but soon interim committee hearings will start up around the state in preparation for the 2024 session which begins next January. In this week’s show, we will talk about transparency, including several bills aimed at increasing transparency in government that recently succeeded or failed. We will also talk about the budget process and how it works, and how transparent it is – or is not. As the state continues to see record revenues, knowing how our money is spent is everybody’s business.
