NEW MEXICO LEGISLATORS ARE ALREADY PRE-FILING BILLS IN THE STATE HOUSE AND SENATE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE SESSION STARTING IN SANTA FE. IT’S ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE 30-DAY SESSION STARTS. AND AMONG THE TOPICS GETTING ATTENTION ARE INCREASED FUNDING FOR EDUCATION … LEGALIZING MARIJUANA … GUN CONTROL AND THE MINIMUM WAGE.
HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE THE MAJORITY IN THAT CHAMBER OVER REPUBLICANS. THEY’RE ALSO IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT IN THE SENATE … AND OUR GOVERNOR IS NOW A DEMOCRAT.
