Performance Review

Dear citizens of New Mexico,

I believe government must be managed in a fiscally responsible manner, and that every government program, indeed, every government employee, must be held accountable to you the taxpayers. My administration will continue to challenge and question the way we do business to make sure every tax dollar is spent wisely. That’s why I initiated a Performance Review to look at state services and operations in order to save money and improve services.

The Performance Review focuses on the six priority issues of health, human resources, information and telecommunications management, transportations, corrections, and contract management. The goal of this top-to-bottom review of state government is to ensure that New Mexican's are getting the best possible services at the least possible cost.

When I was elected one of my first acts was to create a 1-800 number so you could share your ideas with me. The results were overwhelming and we received some great ideas. I will continue to reach out to you, the people of New Mexico, to help me in identifying ways to make our state government better.

With your help, the Performance Review team has developed ways to successfully achieve a better state government for all of New Mexico. We are putting your ideas to work, and I will keep you posted on our progress and results.

Thank you,

Bill Richardson
