The New Mexico Senate is looking at a bill that would finance nearly $174 million in capital spending while creating jobs along the way.

If approved by both chambers and signed by the governor, it would provide $13 million to replace school buses statewide, $10 million for water supply projects and $6 million for new voting equipment among its list of projects and purchases.
