Tips to avoid grass fires in Chaves County
Chaves County Fire Services warns last year’s rain boosts grass fire risk as dry fuel from wild grasses and weeds spreads through southeastern New Mexico. Homeowners should create a defensible space, remove dead vegetation, separate trees and shrubs, trim branches, clear debris for at least 30 feet, and consult Firewise and NM state sites for guidance. Volunteer fire departments seek public help in clearing dried grasses and maintaining clear areas.

Legislative budget notes and reserves for 2010 session
The 2010 legislative budget remains at least 1 percent above the two year prior total for a 60 day session and about 21 percent higher than 2009 actuals. Most funds stay in a reserve for special sessions including redistricting. Raul Burciaga notes the need for reserves due to cost uncertainty and potential gubernatorial disputes. The session budget covers a $153 per day per diem for lawmakers, temporary staff, bill printing, and mail room operations.
