For Immediate Release
The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) will be in Santa Fe throughout the 2016 Legislative session. We will be providing our popular Heroes and Zeroes report to keep you current on elected officials’ actions and legislation.
A Day to Celebrate MLK: As we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King today, it is timely and relevant to remember what Dr. King said about public education:
The Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) and Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) Bond Election is February 2. The Early Voting sites are open now until January 30.
The CNM Bond Election is underway, with early voting open until January 30.
NMBC supports a workers right to have a job in NM without being forced to join or pay dues to a union. Will our legislators take action during the 30 day 2016 Session?
SJGS Plan Approved: After years of discussion, hearings and community involvement, the NM Public Regulation Commission adopted PNM’s plan to shut down half of San Juan Generating Station (SJGS) yesterday. This decision is good news for those wanting affordable and reliable electric energy for the state.
New Mexico, Change is Possible! The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) is focused on working with lawmakers and business owners to find positive solutions to anti-business issues around the state. Onerous, overbearing government regulations and laws that prohibit business growth plague New Mexico. We believe that while discussing the issues is a great start, talk is not enough to spur change.
