Santa Fe-area members of the state House of Representatives have declining environmental voting records while local state senators are on the upswing, according to a state-based environmental group's "score card" released Tuesday.
Governor Bill Richardson’s ongoing efforts to make New Mexico the “clean energy state†got another boost last night as the Senate gave final approval to the Governor’s latest energy efficiency initiative. The Efficient Use of Energy Act Amendments, sponsored by Speaker Ben Lujan, passed the Senate on a 22-15, mostly party-line, vote, and now heads to the Governor’s desk for signature.
New Mexico legislators deserve a round of applause for the bills on energy and the environment that were passed this session, but much more still needs to be done
