New Mexico Moves To Ease Pecos Valley Water Crisis
On March 6 2002 Gov Gary Johnson signed bills to curb the Pecos Valley water crisis including a 30 million annual appropriation with one third guaranteed to the valley and a 4 million reauthorization. Rep Dan Foley hailed the action as turning point while noting oil wastewater reclamation could add 125 000 acre feet annually and help resolve Texas water rights questions. Fred Hennighausen of the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District called it an important day for New Mexico.

Legislature battles Johnson veto power over New Mexico budget
Democrats say the governor cannot act unilaterally without a signed budget and note only one override of a Johnson veto since 1995. House Speaker Ben Lujan calls for Legislature consent for fiscal action and cites past special sessions in 1999 and 2000 as efforts to resolve impasses.
