A lively interactive discussion between NM State Senator Carrie Hamblen and NM Water Ambassador Norm Gaume about the water, our sustainable quality of life, and the NM Legislature, broadcast live from Senator Hamblen’s office in Las Cruces. Conservation Voters New Mexico (CVNM) recognized Senator Hamblen (SD-38, Doña Ana) with its 2024 Luminaria Award. Many of the Senator’s allies attended. Her acceptance speech was brilliant. The session provides her leadership and insights.
New Mexico's top water officials presented honestly at the March 19 Water Advocates workshop — acknowledging a compact debt of -132,000 acre-feet, a violation threshold three years away, and a metering order that is overdue. We are grateful for their candor. We are not yet reassured by their plan.
