New Mexico politics and crises span year of turmoil
The session opened with Republicans in control of the House and Democrats leading the Senate. Divisions stalled public works funding and other bills. After December, Democrats targeted Gov. Susana Martinez amid police dispatch leaks about a Santa Fe hotel incident. The year also saw the 2014 Los Alamos Waste Plant leak fallout, Holly Holm’s upset in Albuquerque, a mine wastewater spill and a large Department of Energy settlement for New Mexico road and water projects. Trials loomed for Albuquerque police in James Boyd case, and a fatal road rage incident near I-40 raised murder charges.
