Finally, the legislature finds that highway construction | 0001| projects can provide those jobs in many areas of the state and | 0002| at the same time make urgently needed road improvements that | 0003| will enhance and provide the infrastructure for economic | 0004| development efforts and purposes. | 0005| B. It is the purpose of this act to raise revenues | 0006| for the most urgent highway projects throughout the state, | 0007| provide good jobs for New Mexicans in many areas of the state, | 0008| assure the use of road revenues for highway projects and | 0009| enhance and meet economic development purposes and needs | 0010| throughout the state. | 0011| Section 2.
