Judge considers arguments in challenge to New Mexico's universal childcare program
A New Mexico judge is set to rule on a lawsuit challenging the state's universal childcare program, which eliminated income caps and co-pays for daycare assistance. Plaintiffs argue the expansion was implemented without legislative approval, while the state claims lawmakers later authorized it. The program, funded partly by oil and gas revenue, faces questions about sustainability.
