Hispanic leaders call for new department – New Mexico

Tagged: , , ,

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.”*
