Schmitt, Montoya's GOP rival, notes his own New Mexico roots and discusses draft history and national service amid a separate jail riot where about 30 inmates escaped at Montessa Park Contention Center in Albuquerque before being recaptured.

PSC denies gas rate hike bid for New Mexico
The New Mexico Public Service Commission unanimously denied Gas Co. of New Mexico’s request to raise the cost of gas adjustment from 80 cents to 1.21 dollars per mcf for November bills. Atty. Gen. Anaya warned the case will return in December as prices are likely to rise, while Commissioner Blakeley said the figures did not prove an undercollection and urged consumer awareness. Anaya urged longer term reforms including intrastate price regulation and possible deregulation at the federal level.
