I'm following a bill that looks to codify limits on greenhouse gas emissions in NM, most of which come from the oil & gas industry.
The room where the bill is being heard is full & the Fire Marshall won't allow anyone else in. Dozens are outside.
I'll track the bill live here.

I've spent my career fighting for our clean air, land, and water. Now more than ever we need leadership that will take on the MAGA extremists and protect our natural resources for generations to come. I'm ready for the fight.
Let's go make history! ✊

I am really proud of my Law Dork coverage this past week surrounding the challenge to Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming medical care for trans minors.
It's an important story that I was covering long before others were — and that helped me do this now. lawdork.com/t/lgbtq

When the @NMLegislature invests in the @NMEnvDep - we deliver. 💥 Our return on investment was 18.4%! Penalizing bad actors provides real value to the many good actors who invest in compliance and ensure a healthy environment for future generations. #NMPol
In FY24, @NMEnvDep brought in $30.2M through enforcement actions and surpassing the department’s $25.5M operating budget. The fines collected aim to hold polluters accountable, improve water systems, reduce emissions, and enhance environmental health. tinyurl.com/3n4shfup

New study led by @evandsherwin in @NatureEnergyJnl compiles data from nearly one million aerial measurements of methane leaks across major US oil & gas basins, finds leakage ranges from 0.75% in the Marcellus to 9.6% in the Permian. The six-region weighted average is 2.95%, ~3x the rate in EPA's national GHG inventory nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

I spent the last week door knocking in SE ABQ to see if residents and businesses were aware they live and work in a contaminated area.
One couple, Amy and Paul Gleason, felt left out of the loop. Amy has asthma and said it's gotten worse.

I called out @NSF leadership for not giving New Mexico's EPSCoR office its due funding.
Now I've secured Committee support to ensure our state EPSCoR office receives $750k, supporting scientific research and STEM workforce training.
