KOB TV Reports on New Mexico Governor Martinez’s State of the State address. KOB TV also has included the transcript of the speech.

I am honored to join you for the State of the State Address and to open this legislative session.

Last year, we met together under very different, and difficult, circumstances. The steepest crash in global oil and gas prices in state history devastated our budget. Across the last two fiscal years, we faced a $600 million shortfall and the prospect of emptying the state’s entire savings account.  The situation was bleak.

Of course, facing economic and fiscal adversity is not new to us.
