As always, if you have anything you want to add for future days feel free to shoot an email to editor@nmpoliticalreport.com.
Also, we are including our stories from the previous day at the bottom of the post.
1. Rio Rancho capital outlay forum
Republican legislators from Rio Rancho will meet tonight to discuss capital outlay projects.
The meeting will take place at the Rio Rancho Public Schools District Board Room at 6:00 p.m.
“For the first time, Republican legislators representing Rio Rancho will present a capital outlay project recommendation of our own,” Sen. Craig Brandt said in a statement. “I think the public will be very interested in this, I hope they come to the capital outlay forum in December to hear about our recommendation and to hear others’ recommendations for capital spending.”
No word if Democratic state Senator John Sapien, who represents part of the city will attend.
2. LFC meeting day three
The third day of the big Legislative Finance Committee December meeting, the last one until the day before the legislative session, will feature some cabinet secretaries from high profile departments.

The interim committee will also hear on “special, supplemental, deficiency and IT requests” as well as recommendations from the Tobacco Settlement Revenue Oversight interim committee and the Transportation Infrastructure Revenue Committee.
