Are New Mexico taxpayers getting enough bang for their buck when it comes to spending on education?
That’s a logical question to ask after a New Mexico Watchdog story revealed that while student outcomes continue near the bottom in national rankings, New Mexico is ranked 20th when it comes to per-pupil spending. Click here to read the story.
The Watchdog report, as well as another story on higher education spending, was brought up in a “web extra” edition of “New Mexico In Focus,” the weekly public affairs program seen in most parts of the state on KNME-TV.
Joining moderator Gene Grant on the panel was Rob Nikolewski of New Mexico Watchdog, former New Mexico Lt. Governor Diane Denish, former state Rep. Dan Foley and attorney Sophie Martin:
