IF THE GOVERNOR AND A GROUP OF STATE LAWMAKERS HAVE THEIR WAY, A NEW OFFICE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION WOULD BE ESTABLISHED IN NEW MEXICO. THE IDEA IS TO PROMOTE OUR STATE AS A PLACE TO BIKE, CLIMB AND FISH.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS SUPPORTERS OF THE LEGISLATION WANT NEW MEXICO TO CHALLENGE STATES LIKE UTAH AND MONTANA, WHICH ARE KNOWN FOR ATTRACTING OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. A PROPOSED BILL CALLS FOR A MILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS IN FUNDING TO RUN THE OFFICE.
