I have updated this story: This is a REAL PROBLEM!!!! The State has fallen apart under Governor Lujan Grisham and Speaker Egolf. They both sent up the white flag yesterday! Egolf resigned and the Governor took her mask off!
New Mexico Governor Lujan Grisham and Speaker of the House Egolf are driving New Mexico into a brick wall. Please pay attention to this mission of destruction, before it is to late. If New Mexico didn’t have enough severe problems….now we may not of the electricity we need this summer! Our state and nation is all turned upside down.
From NM State Rep. Jim Townsend:
It is time to address the electrical issues before us, we must make a decision. Power outages appear imminent in the greater Albuquerque service area. Renewables although very useful and helpful can not meet the demand all the time especially when the sun is set and wind is not blowing. We must have a strong always available economically viable electrical generation alternative now. Waiting any longer, putting our largest population in peril would be irresponsible and willfully negligent of the Legislature, Governor and PRC. We have no excuses.

Rolling Black Outs This Summer in New Mexico?
PNM asks regulators to extend coal plant operations
***********************************************************
FGGAM received this update from the NM GOP HOUSE late yesterday:
Santa Fe – On Valentine’s Day 2022, the love fest between the New Mexico House Democrat Caucus and their special interest donors continued. Following House Republican Leader Jim Townsend’s move to blast HB 220 to the Chamber, and House Republican Whip Rod Montoya’s call of the House, Democrats voted in favor of doing nothing to avoid expected power blackouts.
“New Mexicans are simply asking to continue to count on their electricity and for it to remain affordable,” said House Republican Leader Jim Townsend (Artesia). “The crisis is coming and I am very disappointed that our colleagues have decided to ignore this looming power blackout crisis.”
HB 220 is a bill that would have ensured that the San Juan Generating Station would remain operating for two more years, saving many Navajo jobs. The measure would also ensure that NM utility rates would remain affordable and avoid the expected power blackouts that PNM and many media outlets have been covering.
“We cannot simply allow our jobs to be taken away, and power blackouts to run rampant when we have a viable option on the table,” said House Republican Whip Rod Montoya (Farmington). “We received tri-partisan support for addressing this issue and New Mexicans deserve to have at minimum expectation that their power will remain reliable and affordable.”
Discussion on HB 220 received tri-partisan support from Republican, Democrat, and Independent lawmakers.
New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas put the state Public Regulation Commission on notice
From Today:
VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE OF NEW MEXICO! Tie Vote Blocks Clean Fuel Legislation! Tougher Anti-Crime Bill Clears NM Senate
This is good news for ‘We the People.’ I paid $4.62 a gallon for gas on Sunday! As House Minority Leader Jim Townsend stated to the Santa Fe New Mexican, “Our state is already one of the poorest states in the nation.” This would have been horrible for us common folk. I would love to hear what the old sage Will Rogers would say about this! The ABQ Journal is reporting this morning: A proposal to establish a clean fuel standard in New Mexico failed on a tie vote early Thursday as the House deadlocked 33-33 on the bill.
Rare tie vote blocks clean fuel legislation in House
We have to continue to fight for ther oil and gas industry, the back bone of our schools.
We also have this Report From The Santa Fe New Mexican, New Mexico still needs to get more tougher on crime. I heard 10 gun shots from our house later yesterday afternoon. Called 911….WAITED 2 minutes for an answer! WE NEED MORE 911 Operators! This is a problem in the County! Seconds count in emergency’s….I was a firefighter! I know…seconds count in fires also! LIFE AND DEATH! The County and City need to come togther and solve this problem!
Tougher Anti-Crime Bill Clears NM Senate
More Good News!
New Mexico GOP Leaders Blast Dems on Changes to SB 144, Election Law Changes
FGGAM shares a Biblical Worldview everyday: The Biblical worldview says there is a God—One who is personal, powerful and caring—who created the world and everything in it. It states unequivocally that man is created in God’s image, living in essence as God’s co-regent over creation. Mankind—born and unborn, rich and poor, able and disabled—has intrinsic worth. Almighty God is a sovereign God, ruler over nations, states, empires, and governments. He is to be worshipped and obeyed through the precepts and principles revealed in His infallible Word. He not only exists, but He is sovereign over all of history according to His wisdom and purposes, and He is intimately involved in every aspect of life (Franklin Graham, “A Biblical Worldview in Today’s Culture”).
The Dems rule New Mexico…….Will New Mexico vote for Godly principles in November?
FGGAM has received the following news releases:
Statement from New Mexico House Republican Whip Rod Montoya (Farmington) on SB 144, Election Law Changes:
“It is truly disappointing that this body has decided to move forward with election law changes that disregard the work of so many of our county clerks and tremendous bipartisan lawmakers. I had been hopeful that having so many stakeholders at the table and involved in creation of SB6, yet yesterday political moves were used to push through, what I consider is the Governor’s reelection bill. I am thankful for the County Clerks who worked on the original bill, and those that took the time yesterday to testify and read the secret amendment to SB144. The work that was done on the original SB6 was truly work on behalf of the people and will hopefully be replicated because it shows that we can work together and produce good legislation in the future.”
Senator Crystal Diamond Stands with County Clerks in Opposition to Amended Senate Bill 144
Renews Call for passage of bipartisan Senate Bill 6
SANTA FE – Following reports that the New Mexico County Clerk’s Affiliate voted overwhelmingly to oppose Senate Bill 144, as amended, Senator Crystal Diamond (District 35-Doña Ana, Hidalgo, Luna, and Sierra), released a statement of support for the clerks and renewed her call for the House to pass Senate Bill 6.
“I stand with our county clerks in strong opposition to the amended SB 144,” said Senator Diamond. “The attempt by House Democrats to logroll a 165-page election amendment into a simple 2-page bill is outrageous. Even more problematic is that the sponsors of the amendment clearly did not consult with those responsible for running our elections—our county clerks.”
During the public hearing on SB 144, Democratic legislators, Representative Damon Ely and Senator Katy Duhigg, shocked the clerks and other concerned citizens when they introduced the unexpected amendment. The clerks and members of the public were not given ample time to review the amendment before it was adopted on a party-line vote, with all Republicans opposing the measure.
“Almost two weeks ago, the Senate sent a bipartisan election bill to the House,” added Senator Diamond. “SB 6 was endorsed by the county clerks and the Secretary of State, and passed the Senate on a 39-0 vote. Unfortunately, instead of passing the consensus legislation, the Democrats took some of the worst provisions of the Governor’s radical election bill (SB 8) and shoved them into an unrelated measure. This is a slap in the face to the county clerks and everyone else who worked tirelessly on SB 6. I urge my colleagues in both chambers to reject the amendment on SB 144 and to pass SB 6 in its current form.”

You Think The Drought is Bad Now in The West, It Will Get Worse, Funds Need to Be Diverted to Water Projects

I have been watering our tress and shrubs this winter. Deep watering. to get to the roots. It is very, very dry. I see many tress and shrubs struggling in the city. Fire danger is present in parts of New Mexico because of the severe drought. U.S. Drought Monitor
We have so very many problems in New Mexico and all over America, I do not think many are focusing on WATER! You can’t do anything without WATER. This is very serious. We have so many issues like the erosion of Christianity in New Mexico, America is no longer a Christian nation: Only 6% of Americans have a ‘biblical worldview,’ research from George Barna , abortion, crime, corruption, drugs, suicides, legalized pot, child murders, child abuse, child hunger, gangs, robberies, poverty, homelessness, rising cost of living, inflation is out of control, on and on we go. As we said in the day, “We have more problems that Carter has liver pills.” Now that really dates me! BUT IT IS THE TRUTH! JESUS is the TRUTH. Read your Bible. JESUS is always the answer, not enough people know that. Life here is going to get tougher, not easier. God’s Word will set your free from this world we live in. Read my story below about Blackouts may occur this summer in New Mexico because of the lack of electricity! My goodness! New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas put the state Public Regulation Commission on notice It is just plain crazy that the Governor wants to ruin the oil and gas industry. The Governor should lose the upcoming election on just the CRIME issue! We need a Law and order Governor! Read more below.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation said 17 states under its purview are facing low reservoir levels. All across the West states are struggling with the effects of extreme drought. The worse news is that the drought will continue this year
New study: drought in New Mexico the worst in 1,200 years
As the drought worsens, what is the Governor of New Mexico and the legislature doing about water conservation? The Santa Fe New Mexican reports, with federal and state dollars available for infrastructure, funds need to be diverted to water projects. Think about everything from restoring rivers to stopping leaks to building public and private water catchment systems. More Here
