THOUSANDS OF NEW MEXICO FAMILIES GET CASH ASSISTANCE THROUGH THEIR E-B-T CARDS. RIGHT NOW, THEY CAN USE THE CARDS TO GET CASH JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE, INCLUDING CASINOS AND BARS. STATE REPRESENTATIVE NATE GENTRY OF ALBUQUERQUE SAYS NEW MEXICO HAS UNTIL 2014 TO PUT LIMITS ON WHERE THE CASH CAN BE ACCESSED OR SPENT, TO BE IN FEDERAL COMPLIANCE.  GENTRY HAS FILED SUCH A BILL THAT'LL BE TAKEN UP BY THE LEGISLATURE IN JANUARY. HE SAYS IT'S A NON-CONTROVERSIAL MEASURE THAT SHOULD PASS QUICKLY.
