Breaking News: No Air Pollution Crisis in NM

What? No Air Pollution Crises in NM? Radical environmental groups have been shouting, protesting and spending thousands of dollars on advertising to say there is a toxic air pollution crisis in New Mexico. They say the crises requires a complete shutdown of the San Juan Generating Station (SJGS) because it is the largest polluter in the entire state.

Speaking of Accountability and Integrity…

Regarding Integrity, Thomas Jefferson said, “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”

And so it is, the NMBC will stand like a rock. There is much to be done in this state – for the people of this state. While we are open to new ideas that will move this state forward, the NMBC will not conform our mission to fit the agenda of whomever is in power at the time or simply ‘go along to get along’.

NMBC Message for Political Bullies

“It is not the critic who counts. . .The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; . . . who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” – Theodore Roosevelt

A Whole Lot of Finger Pointing Going On. . .
