As New Mexico enters the final week of the regular session of the 55th Legislature, it’s important to take a breath and consider all the hard work our citizen legislators have done over the past two months (and in the midst of a pandemic, no less).
It’s also time for one more ask: for them to give one more concerted push on a few really positive bills, some that have not garnered much attention in this remote session, and to get them to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham before the final gavel falls March 20. While diverse, these are all about making New Mexico a fairer, more open and accessible state. We thank our state representatives and senators for introducing them, especially as they were limited to a handful of bills each, and for fighting the good fight for issues that don’t make headlines and attract microphones like legalized recreational pot.
