New Mexico regulators have decided to approve an environmental group's proposal for capping greenhouse gas emissions statewide.
The Environmental Improvement Board voted 4-1 during a meeting Monday in Santa Fe.

I suspect the new Martinez administration will find a way to overturn this amongst much whining and gnashing of teeth by the environutters in Santa Fe. Either that or the legislature will take action. A couple of weeks ago Martinez said they would explore all options to nullify the action.

All of our past stupid and corrupt Governors are turning over in their graves over this P.o.S Richardson.

What is it with Santa Fe, NM. It seems that there has to be at least one city in each conservative state which has liberal nutjobs (who are often well-off, as I understand it).
In your state, it’s Santa Fe. In Wyoming, it’s Jackson (bung)Hole. In Texas, it’s Austin. I’m sure wine sales are booming in those burgs, also.
