HB356
was presented to the Business and Industry Committee last night at
10:00pm.
The people that waited for +5 hours to represent our
community, made it very clear that we supported this bill because
taxpayers deserve fairness and consideration, as well as representation
on business agreements that affect ALL citizens and have a huge economic
impact on our communities. Sovereignty should not exempt anyone from
unfair business practices that impact
innocent people.
This was reinforced by Representative Donald E.
Bratton from Lea County. (donald.bratton@nmlegis.gov) This
Representative was our voice last night people! He reinforced
everything our community has been saying and stood up for all consumers
and taxpayers in New Mexico. So much so, Rep. Bratton deserves an email
from everyone in our community thanking him for standing up for what is
right and reinforcing what we have been saying! Negotiating agreements
using unfair advantage is not friendly and neighborly negotiations.
Imposing high fines until an unreasonable offer is accepted is not fair
negotiating. Imposing unreasonable fines for trespass yet stating it
“inhumane” to stop service in which you are in trespass of, is not
acceptable.
Rep. Bratton, thank you for taking a stand!
HB356 now goes to the House for debate and vote. If it passes the
House, it still has to go to the Senate for debate and a vote. Time is
running out due to the legislative session ending tomorrow and it is a
long shot.
How can you help? Send a message to Speaker W. Ken Martinez
and tell him the taxpayers and voters of our community ask that he
support such an important issue to the people by placing HB356 on the
House floor immediately for debate and a vote. Remind him that in our
community, the taxpayers are the majority vote!
PLEASE KNOW
your emails have been and are so powerful! It was very evident that the
committee members read them and actually referred to them in their
supporting statements.
