pilot program

What if citizens could make suggestions to government officials on how to spend money? That’s the idea behind a new pilot project. District 6 City Councilor Nichole Rogers is working with Participatory Budgeting of Albuquerque to host a session Tuesday night to hear from the community about spending state capital outlay dollars.

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed 69 bills Wednesday. Among them was one bill that would fund 16 pilot programs within multiple state agencies. But not everything was approved.
