New Mexico Legislature Targets Public Education and Governance
A broad bill package proposes limiting the education secretary’s power over charter approvals, creating a School Grades Council, banning social media password requests from applicants, and preserving lottery scholarships. It also seeks a state health exchange, pension solvency reforms, a higher minimum wage, insurance regulation changes, unemployment fund solvency, and tighter taxi and moving company oversight. The package includes space industry protections, tax breaks for rail upgrades, and strengthened sex offender registration. Failures include driver’s license access for undocumented residents and merit pay proposals, with other items advancing toward law.

Eight one eyed purple bikes will roll into yards across Roswell Monday as calling cards from the Roswell Refuge, a domestic violence nonprofit, prompt donations. Bicycles travel with donation forms, a log book, and pickup arranged by Refuge staff, with all funds funding operations for the 37 year old shelter serving about 1000 area residents annually.
