Three Bills to Shed Light on lobbyist Activities, Compensation and Slow the Revolving Door used by Ex-Legislators

The public supports bills that would help level the playing field and reduce the influence of paid lobbyists on state government.

Ethics 01.24.2023

Proposal aims to keep legislators from drinking while on the job

All of our New Mexico lawmakers should be having debates, considering legislation, and making decisions on behalf of their constituents with a clear and sober mind. Sponsored by Sen. Harold Pope (D-Bernalillo), a new Senate rule would require that "no senator shall consume alcohol before or during any floor session or meeting of a committee to which a member has been appointed."
