New Mexico Economic Recovery Council
Amid all the loss and sacrifice of the past year, we have all had to adjust to new ways of doing things.
Forced by the pandemic to remain apart physically, we have struggled to connect with each other through technology. In too many cases, we found our Internet service incapable of delivering the bandwidth needed for an entire family to function in a virtual environment.
The shortcomings became evident early on – business video conferences were dropped, medical services became inaccessible, and children scrambled to find parking spaces near public hot spots to keep up with their schoolwork.

AZTEC Farmington resident Jason Sandel hopes his new role as the chairman of the Western States and Tribal Nations Natural Gas Initiative’s board of directors will help promote San Juan Basin natural gas as the initiative seeks to market natural gas to a wider range of customers.
“The Western States and Tribal Nations is an organization that is dedicated to export of Rocky Mountain natural gas and to be the chairman of the organization really makes sure that the San Juan Basin specifically has a good, strong voice inside of the organization,” Sandel said.
He said that strong voice will help the natural gas producers especially in the San Juan Basin as the organization looks to export product to Asia.
