NEXT STEP! HOUSE BILL 365

Yesterday we filled Room 309 in the Round House and the Business and Industry Committee Chair, Representative Debbie Rodella, from Espanola allowed the people to speak! Thank you Representative Rodella!
 
The Memorial was supported by all members except Representative Georgene Louis from Acoma Pueblo who was also appointed in 2007 by Governor Bill Richardson as State Gaming Representative. If you would like to inform yourself of who your legislature representatives are or what committees they sit on, please go to: http://www.nmlegis.gov/
 
The people were heard and we received additional support from some of other members on the committee. As a result, Representative Carl Trujillo was encouraged to submit legislation to help ALL people dealing with high utility cost that are caused by astronomical Native American easements.
 
That legislation was introduced today. House Speaker W. Ken Martinez placed our bill with the Health, Government, & Indian Affairs Committee, chaired by Representative James Roger Madalena from Jemez Pueblo.

The bill will be defended on Tuesday, February 11. 

Time and location to follow. We need to fill the room once more!
