Hispanic leaders call for new department – New Mexico
Tagged: Bill Richardson, Mexico, New Mexico, population
Gov. Bill Richardson has created several new cabinet-level agencies since taking office in 2000, including the Indian Affairs Department, which was specifically created to assist the state’s Native American population.
So, why not a new cabinet-level department devoted to the state’s Hispanic population?
Ralph Arellanes, who serves as an officer for several Hispanic organizations in the state, issued a press release last week that included a letter to state lawmakers calling for the creation of a new cabinet level department, and renewed criticism that Richardson has not done enough for Hispanic residents in the state.”*
