Domenici closes New Mexico offices

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Long-time New Mexico Sen. Pete Domenici said that Friday was a sad day.

His field offices around New Mexico starting closing as he prepares to retire from the senate post that he held for 36 years.

The offices in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces and Roswell are all shutting their doors.

Domenici is retiring in January because of a degenerative brain disease.

Constituents can still contact Domenici's office in Washington D.C. through mid-December.
