New Mexico Human Services denied food assistance to hungry families to meet deadlines

9. Should we not be asking

why these five workers could not meet their deadline? New Mexico is getting hammered by the drop in oil prices and the revenue loss that drop represents. There has probably been a drastic increase in the number of folks needing help and probably a budget cut in the department that oversees that need, I don't know, but maybe someone else out there does? And maybe how high up this directive originated.
