GOVERNOR SUSANA MARTINEZ HAS REJECTED A REQUEST TO ADD HOUSE BILL 138 TO THE AGENDA FOR THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THE BILL, PROPOSED BY DEMOCRAT STATE REP BILL MCCAMLEY, WOULD HAVE PROHIBITED THE STATE FROM ALLOWING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BORDER WALL ON ANY STATE-OWNED LAND.
MCCAMLEY SAYS HE IS DISAPPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR’S DECISION. DEMOCRATS FEEL A WALL WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE TRADE RELATIONSHIP NEW MEXICO HAS WITH MEXICO.
