New Mexico’s Eco-Left Celebrates Their Most Recent Green Tax on the Poor March 12, 2021 New Mexico’s eco-left and their political allies are very proud of a new bill moving through the Legislature that will raise the cost of gas on working families. Radical environmentalists are calling it a Clean Fuel Standard and New Mexico Governor Lujan Grisham is very proud of it. ✅ SB 11, the Clean Fuel Standard Act, has passed the Senate!New Mexico is the first state in the Southwest to seek a clean fuel standard program, blazing a path toward significant economic investments while tackling emissions that contribute to climate change. #SB11 #nmleg pic.twitter.com/QBvrOyVwWP— Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (@GovMLG) March 11, 2021 Left out of the Governor’s self-congratulatory statement is the analysis that her bill will raise the cost of gas by 5 percent. Not to worry, the same analysis says New Mexicans can avoid this cost increase if they simply BUY A NEW alternative fuel vehicle. Keep in mind, according to AAA New Mexico’s gas prices have skyrocketed by 44 cents per gallon just over the last month. So, naturally radical environmentalists think it’s a great time to drive prices higher. Once again, the priorities of the elitist eco-left leave New Mexico’s working families behind.
