State spending on public education and government programs would increase by 4.8 percent next year under a proposed budget heading to the New Mexico House with strong opposition from Republicans.
The Appropriations and Finance Committee split along party lines Thursday in approving the $6.2 billion budget on a 10-7 vote.
