Credit Senator Gregory A. Baca - (R) - Minority Floor Leader LAS CRUCES – New Mexico Senate Minority Leader Greg Baca, R-Rio Rancho, was able to force a debate Wednesday, March 10, on his bill to limit the governor’s powers during an emergency, but nothing more. Early in Wednesday’s session, while legislators were still on announcements, Baca moved that Senate Bill 74 be made the next order of business. After about an hour of debate, the motion was defeated 24-14 on a straight party-line vote, meaning the bill will likely continue to languish on the daily calendar until the end of the session.
