“I’ve always said that this bill is not perfect,” state Rep. Javier Martínez, D-Albuquerque, proclaimed during Wednesday’s Senate debate on groundbreaking state legislation legalizing recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older.

AZTEC A house memorial focused on infrastructure investment for Native American communities received unanimous support from the House State Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee.
The house memorial, known as Native American Infrastructure Investment, would encourage New Mexico’s congressional delegation to introduce legislation that would assist the Bureau of Indian Affairs with efforts like expanding infrastructure accessibility, reducing poverty rates, increasing economic opportunities and improving educational access for Native American communities in the state.
If passed, copies of the memorial will be sent to the delegation as well as members of the U.S. Congress, the secretary of the Department of the Interior, the BIA director as well as the Navajo Nation president and council and the 23 Native American nations, tribes and pueblos in New Mexico.
