SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico’s governor is naming new advisers on water, infrastructure and broadband. Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the appointments Wednesday after President Joe Biden signed the $1 trillion infrastructure bill. She’s appointing former Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez to work with communities around the state to set priorities for the $3.7 billion in federal infrastructure money that’s bound for New Mexico. Lujan Grisham also says the state will have a broadband adviser soon. She also said the head of the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District, Mike Hamman, will serve as her water adviser starting in January. He will replace John D’Antonio, who will be stepping down.
