Join us for the next great presentation from State Engineer General Counsel Nat Chakeres about the Middle Rio Grande’s unrecognized water crisis. The Office of the State Engineer’s actions are needed to keep New Mexico out of another Texas lawsuit focused on the Middle Rio Grande, the river segment between the Los Alamos highway bridge and Elephant Butte. Don’t miss State Engineer General Counsel’s presentation, Carrots and Sticks for Achieving Rio Grande Compact Compliance, Part II.
In New Mexico, handing control of utilities to private equity firms like Blackstone and Bernhard isn’t just a financial gamble — it’s a threat to water security. These profit-driven actors prioritize returns over infrastructure, transparency, and environmental protection, putting ratepayers and ecosystems at risk.
