IN SANTA FE, THE HOUSE STATE GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE HAS ADVANCED A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CALLING FOR AN INDEPENDENT ETHICS COMMISSION. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE MEASURE MUST PASS TWO OTHER COMMITTEES BEFORE MAKING IT TO THE HOUSE FLOOR.
IF APPROVED BY BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE, IT WOULD GO BEFORE VOTERS IN 2018. NEW MEXICO IS ONE OF JUST A HANDFUL OF STATES WITHOUT AN ETHICS COMMISSION.
