ICYMI: Farmington Daily Times: New Energy Laws Show Santa Fe’s Disconnect With The Rest Of The State

April 25, 2019

Santa Fe politicians are not listening to the needs of energy workers and the communities that rely on them, and it’s threatening New Mexico’s future. That’s the message from Power The Future Western States Director Larry Behrens in his new op-ed in the Farmington Daily Times.

“The disconnect between Santa Fe and the rest of New Mexico has become more glaring to the point where I don’t believe energy workers and their way of life are recognized for all they do,” said Behrens.

“Santa Fe politicians are being pushed by special interests from out-of-state funders passing laws that jeopardize our way of life. Ideas such as carbon free mandates and wild tax and spend plans are no doubt a cause for celebration in faraway metros like New York and San Francisco, but the results will be disastrous for New Mexico.”

Why are Santa Fe politicians pushing extreme eco-policies that will hurt New Mexico’s way of life?
