Final Sylvia Bokor Comments & Newsletter
Sylvia Bokor asked New Mexico Business Coalition to share the following with the public:
"On July 19, 2018, Sylvia Bokor died from cancer of the lungs. Her ashes will be scattered in the Rose Garden at Sunset Memorial Park or some other location chosen by the Ayn Rand Institute. According to her wishes, no memorial services will be held.
I deeply enjoyed my time in New Mexico and meeting lots of it's citizens - kind, thoughtful and considerate. I greatly hope that all the work that I and other grassroots supporters of Right to Work did will not have been in vain. I encourage all those who want a more prosperous state to continue their work!

Natural Gas: A cornerstone of the New Mexican economy
Commentary By Carla J. Sonntag, President and Founder, New Mexico Business Coalition
As American business continues to move into an ever-evolving 21st century economic landscape, the role of local and grassroots movements has emerged as a principal factor in local economies. As American citizens and stewards of our country’s future, we are all obliged to educate ourselves on current civil, economic, and legislative issues, and to help carry forward our ideals to ensure a better tomorrow for our children. This has always been the American way, and it has helped make us the greatest country on Earth.

What’s right for spending on Early Childhood Education?
Commentary by NMBC President Carla J. Sonntag
There was discussion at an interim legislative committee about the ongoing debate of increased distributions from the Land Grant Permanent Fund. The New Mexico Business Coalition has been vocal for many years that taking more than the time-tested, economist approved distribution of five percent per year would be detrimental to the long term viability of the fund. The fund was set up when New Mexico first became a state to provide funding for education and certain other state needs in perpetuity. It cannot do that, if the fund’s corpus is damaged.

A New Idea For NM’s Permanent Fund
By Dan McKay / Albuquerque Journal Staff Writer
New Mexico lawmakers have repeatedly debated whether to pull more money out of the state’s largest permanent fund to help pay for early childhood education programs.
But in a legislative meeting Thursday, the state investment officer suggested a different approach.
Why not, he asked, leave the 5 percent distribution alone, but instead earmark a portion of the annual revenue growth that happens anyway?
