The Clear Horizons Act protects New Mexico’s outdoor recreation economy - our clean air, public lands & outdoor access attract visitors & investment. Pollution & climate damage undermine the state’s outdoor recreation industry & CHA reduces climate pollution at the source. #ClearHorizonsAct #NMLeg

Today, the Clear Horizons Act has its first committee hearing.

New Mexico families are already paying higher costs from wildfires, smoke, and extreme weather. Clear Horizons is about planning ahead —protecting family budgets, clean air, and our future. #ClearHorizonsAct #ActOnClimate #NMLeg

New Mexico lawmakers brace for steep cuts to federal funding  • Source New Mexico A newly created legislative panel will examine potential federal funding cuts and consider ways to adapt to them if they become real.

So color me skeptical when our legislature convenes a bi-cameral committee to prepare for federal funding cuts. Will they likely do some good things? For sure. But I expect they'll also use the national crisis to shield O&G from long-needed climate & community reforms. sourcenm.com/2025/04/29/n...

Oil-garchy: Big Oil Runs NM Legislature - ProgressNow NM Big Oil's Power: the 2025 NMLeg did NOT pass the Clear Horizons Act, protection for our land, air & water by curbing toxic gases spewed by the oil and gas industry.

Iron law of O&G policy positions:

"When the international oil market is doing well it’s 'why would we want to hurt (regulate) this industry that is providing so much revenue' but when those prices slip it’s 'Why would we want to put further pressure on an industry that is suffering right now?'"

Protecting American Energy From State Overreach By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose.

So, state's rights wasn't *actually* about state's rights, was it? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

NM House debating SB 73 (“Idaho Stop”)- Rep. Zamora seems to believe that car drivers should be able to hit cyclists without consequence.

But the bill passes regardless. Thank you, reasonable Representatives!!!

Rest in power. Rep. Grijalva never backed down from a fight for communities and the environment.

A fierce advocate and a kind and giving mentor—we will remember him always for the fights he took on, his laughter, and his care for everyone around him. Sending love to his family, the people of Tucson, and the many generations he mentored. Rest in peace dear friend, we will miss you. 💔

We are absolutely devastated at the passing of Chairman Raúl Grijalva. Over his 20+ years in Congress, he championed the rights of our communities, Tribal nations, environmental justice, public lands, and the fight against climate change.

My colleagues have uncovered it.
