New Mexico Sen. William Payne, R-Albuquerque, who is wearing a cherry and silver bead necklace, smiles at UNM President Robert Frank at the state Legislature on Wednesday morning. Payne sponsored Senate Bill 379, the last bill introduced in the Senate in this year’s legislative session. The bill would divide total state lottery funds proportionally among universities statewide and would let individual universities decide on how the scholarship would be allocated to each university’s recipients, Payne said.
