4 people, 1 takeout meal every week, for 3 months: ‘413 pledge’ seeks to ease impact of COVID on Northampton restaurants

Groups of four people ordering one takeout meal every week for three months: That’s the goal of Northampton’s newly introduced “413 Takeout pledge,” a campaign that organizers say aims to ease the “difficult plight” of those in the service industry amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The restaurant-focused campaign is being led by the Greater Northampton Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development Committee along with the Downtown Northampton Association. The idea for the program stemmed from a survey the EDC conducted last year that found people felt a healthy restaurant community is needed for the rejuvenation of the Pioneer Valley city during the COVID-19 public health crisis.

LAS CRUCES – Sen. George Muñoz, D-Gallup, has been named chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, replacing longtime leader John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, who was defeated in the Democratic primary last year.
Muñoz survived his own primary challenge last year, and went on to win re-election to his fourth term. He had been serving as the committee’s vice chairman.
The Finance Committee takes the lead in drafting the annual budget, and typically has the final say on any spending bills before they get to the Senate floor. New senators Crystal Diamond, R-Truth or Consequences, and Siah Correa Hemphill, D-Silver City, were both named as committee members, as were southern New Mexico senators Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces and William Burt, R-Alamogordo.
