GOVERNOR MARTINEZ WANTS TO APPEAL A JUDGE’S RULING CONCERNING 10 BILLS SHE VETOED AFTER THIS YEAR’S LEGISLATIVE SESSION. DISTRICT JUDGE SARAH SINGLETON RULED THE GOVERNOR EITHER TOOK TO LONG DECIDING ON THE BILLS … OR DIDN’T GIVE A REASON FOR VETOING THEM. THE JUDGE SAYS THE GOVERNOR FAILED TO FOLLOW CONSTITUTIONAL PROCEDURES.
MARTINEZ NOW WANTS TO APPEAL THE JUDGE’S RULING TO KEEP THE MEASURES FROM BECOMING LAW AND HAS ASKED ANOTHER JUDGE TO BLOCK THEM FROM TAKING EFFECT. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE GOVERNOR SAYS IF THE 10 BILLS BECOME LAW, THEY’LL CAUSE A “CHAIN OF EVENTS” THAT WOULD BE HARD TO UNDO.
