The city of Santa Fe is doing such a lousy job filling potholes, patching streets and picking up litter, the state of New Mexico has been stepping in to help.

The New Mexico Department of Transportation announced Friday it had partnered with the state Tourism Department “to make critical street repairs, maintain medians, and clean up litter in high traffic areas” in the capital city.

It cited Santa Fe’s ongoing effort to complete overdue financial audits, which have prevented the city from accessing some state funding for the work.
