Skandera retains post after 3 motions fail in committee
By Milan Simonich The New Mexican
Hanna Skandera, New Mexico’s controversial secretary-designate of public education, will remain in office for a full four-year term without ever being confirmed by the state Senate.
Skandera’s confirmation bogged down Monday in the Senate Rules Committee because of a largely partisan divide. Three motions to send her nomination to the full 42-member Senate all failed.
