House committee advances GOP bill to allow recall with bipartisan support

5 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Monday, the New Mexico House Government, Elections, and Indian Affairs Committee advanced a bill, H.J.R. 12, which would allow recall of public officers in the executive and legislative branches of government. 

The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park) and Rep. Randall Pettigrew (R-Lea), had 13-2 support by members of the public, with 87% of attendees voting in support of the bill in a poll. 

Supporters of the bill, such as Piñon Post editor John Block commented that the bill would provide a much-needed “added layer of accountability” for public officials to vote correctly and carry out the will of the people while in office. There were no attendees who commented against the resolution.

Far-left state Rep. Gail Chasey (D-Bernalillo) attempted to stop the bill by asking for members to table it. That motion died on a vote of 3-2, with state Rep. Daymon Ely (D-Corrales) voting against Chasey and all the other Democrats on the committee. 

The resolutions ultimately passed with Rep. Ely’s support and it now heads over to House Judiciary Committee for consideration. 

Rep. Chasey had an issue with the succession process for a recalled public official while Rep. Ely had an issue with reasons given for recall in the bill.

Below, please find the latest information for you to take action on these pieces of legislation:

New Mexico House Bills:

HAPPENING TUESDAY: H.B. 156 by Far-left state Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballero (D-Bernalillo)

URGENT — BILL HEARING MONDAY MORNING: H.J.R. 12 RECALL OF ELECTED OFFICIALS, CA by Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park) 

State Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park) dropped the bill last Wednesday to allow the recall of all elected leaders in New Mexico. It is unclear if Democrats will allow it to get to a committee, much less pass a single chamber. If passed and signed, it would go to the voters for final approval at the next election. Testimony is urgently requested at the 9:30 a.m. Monday hearing in the House Government, Elections, and Indian Affairs Committee:

This bill would implement Critical Race Theory into state agencies, which mandates the “Chief Diversity Officer” of the state to “lead the development and implementation of proactive diversity, equality, equity and inclusion initiatives in support of the state’s strategic plan to create a culture of diversity, equality, equity and inclusion pursuant to Section 6 of the Diversity Act.”

I. “inequities” means disparities in physical health, mental health, economic opportunities, education or social factors; 

J. “institutional racism” means actions that result in differential access to the goods, services and opportunities of society due to the existence of institutional programs, policies and practices that intentionally or unintentionally place certain racial and ethnic groups at a disadvantage in relation to other groups;

New Mexico Senate Bills: 

URGENT — BILL HEARING MONDAY AFTERNOON: S.B. 159, LEGISLATIVE RETIREMENT CHANGES by Sens. Stuart Ingle (R-Portales), Peter Wirth (D-Santa Fe)

This bill would further enrich legislators with increased retirement benefits, with a pension increase of 27 percent for legislators who retire at the age of 65 or older, according to the bill’s fiscal impact report.

This bill will be heard at 1:30 p.m. on Monday in the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee. The Zoom details are below:

URGENT — BILL HEARING MONDAY AFTERNOON: S.J.R. 8 “SALARIES FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS” by Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto (D-Bernalillo)

This bill would attempt to change the New Mexico Constitution to give authority to the Democrat-controlled State Ethics Commission to “review and establish the salaries of all elected state officers every two years.”

This legislation could open the door to sweeping increases in raises for elected officials in New Mexico, as well as bestow even more authority to the Democrat-controlled Supreme Court: 

“When necessary, the chief justice of the supreme court may designate any justice of the supreme court, or any district judge of the state, to act as a judge of the court of appeals, and the chief justice may designate any judge of the court of appeals to hold court in any district, or to act as a justice of the supreme court.”

According to the fiscal impact report on the bill, it conflicts with H.J.R. 10 being proposed by socialist Rep. Angelica Rubio (D-Doña Ana) and Rep. Javier Martinez (D-Bernalillo), which would attempt to change the Constitution to give a salary to legislators — despite legislators making per diem and a pension. New Mexico’s legislature is supposed to be a “citizen legislature” not made up by career politicians.

This bill will be heard on Monday at 1:30 in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Zoom details are below:

URGENT — BILL HEARING MONDAY AFTERNOON: S.B. 144, INTIMIDATION OF ELECTION WORKERS by Sen. Katie Duhigg (D-Bernalillo)

According to the bill’s fiscal impact report, “Senate Bill 144 amends the Election Code relating to the crime of intimidation to include acts against employees and agents of the Secretary of State, county clerks, and municipal clerks’ offices. The bill maintains that intimidation against the aforementioned parties constitutes a fourth degree felony. There is no effective date of this bill. It is assumed that the effective date is 90 days following adjournment of the Legislature..”

House committee advances anti-gun bill costing taxpayers millions

5 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Saturday, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee (HCPAC) voted 3-2 to advance H.B. 68, a radical anti-gun bill proposed by Rep. Meredith Dixon (D-Bernalillo) that would make a felon of 18-year-olds who are knowingly carrying a handgun on their person except when attending a safety course, target shooting, or other minor instances. 

Section three of the bill would raise the offense from a misdemeanor to a felony, which would stay with the person for the rest of their lives, their voting rights would be taken away, and they could not apply for grants, or serve on a jury.

As state Rep. Stefani Lord, one of the representatives to oppose the bill said, the legislation would be a “pipeline to prison” and would punish survivors of domestic abuse who buy guns and don’t know they can’t carry them. 

Also, the bill’s fiscal impact report notes that it would cost taxpayers $3 million over the next three years to implement the new provisions, such as imprisonment and legal costs, etc. This cost would be directly at the expense of taxpayers. 

Both state Reps. Joanne Ferrary (D-Doña Ana) and Liz Thomson (D-Bernalillo) voted along with Randall Pettigrew (R-Lea) to advance the bill, while Reps. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park) and Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe) opposed the measure.

The bill will now head over to the House Judiciary Committee, where language that became an issue in the HCPAC committee may be revised.

NM AG candidate Colón grasps for headlines over his attempt to stop Otero election audit

3 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

As Democrat New Mexico State Auditor Brian Colón attempts to grab headlines amid his run for the state’s open attorney general post, he is trying to stop Otero County from doing a forensic audit of the 2020 election. The audit was exclusively reported on first by the Piñon Post.

“New Mexico State Auditor Brian Colon’s Office confirmed it opened a special examination over an agreement between Otero County and a firm to audit the results of the 2020 Election, asserting the contract could violate state [procurement] laws,” one report notes. 

Colón’s basis for making a publicity stunt against the audit is that he thinks the $49,750 approved by the Otero County Commission this month is against the New Mexico Procurement Code, claiming the procedure of how the contract was procured “raised questions.”

But Otero County Attorney RB Nichols said, “The contract was sourced and approved under (the small purchases section) of the Procurement Code. The contract is for professional services and under the $60,000 threshold,” crippling Colón’s apparent politically motivated argument.

Colón then further proved his attempt to hinder the audit was politically motivated by appearing on MSNBC’s far-left The Rachel Maddow Show. 

When Maddow asked what prompted his inquiry into the contract for the audit, Colón told Maddow, “This initial examination was opened due to a whistleblower who anonymously provided a complaint to our office about this expenditure.” He claimed, “My job is to restore people’s faith in government, and I’m not sure that’s what’s going on in Otero County right now.”

Maddow branded the company, EchoMail, which was awarded the contract, as being started by an “election conspiracy theorist,” Shiva Ayyadurai, who is reportedly the founder of email and highly educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

When asking about political motivations Colón has about his inquiry into Otero County’s audit, the state auditor responded, “For us, every dollar in New Mexico — particularly rural New Mexico — is important to the taxpayers. And we gotta make sure that there isn’t any waste, fraud, or abuse. You know, when we have elected officials who are abusing power, potentially,  we hold them accountable with our investigations and our findings.” 

Colón said, “For me, what I always have to look through the lens of is this translation in the best interest of taxpayers? In this particular concern, we gotta wonder whether this has something to do with a personal agenda and that’s gonna be part of the question. What drove this translation? Was it appropriate… legal and compliant with all our codes, regulations, and procurement process”

“And was this in the best interest of the taxpayers, or was this a situation where we really had waste in government? There has already been an audit on this election by a bipartisan panel. Is it appropriate to spend another $50,000 to audit the election, or is a personal agenda driving the decision?”

He added, “In this case, we are gonna do a full and complete investigation to make sure not one dollar was misspent or spent without the appropriate process.” 

It should be noted that Colón has yet to do a “full and complete” investigation into alleged fraud to the tune of millions of dollars during the allegedly corrupt Susana Martinez administration, which he noted in 2019 abused power. Nor has he done an investigation into scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham regime, which misplaced hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money from the Department of Workforce Solutions, misuse of taxpayer dollars for $200/lb Wagyu steaks and liquor, or the Governor paying off a former staffer $150,000 for allegedly groping his crotch. 

But now, Colón is striving for “transparency” despite an election audit being just that — a search for the truth. If there is nothing to hide, why fight an audit? 

MLG’s alleged groping victim breaks silence, rips her for headline ‘grab’

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Friday, James Hallinan, who Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham paid off $150,000 in her campaign donors’ funds to keep silent about claims she groped him, broke his silence on Michelle Lujan Grisham.

Hallinan shared a photo of the Albuquerque Journal front page which read, “Teacher for a Day” about the Governor’s latest publicity stunt to fill in as a substitute teacher as she ships National Guard personnel to New Mexico classrooms to fill vacancies.

He wrote, “Oh my, what a horrible & foolish tweet… so MLG didn’t do it to help kids, educators, & parents to battle COVID? Appears you admitted it was all a press stunt to grab those ‘front pages’ you all ‘love.’”

He tagged Lujan Grisham’s campaign account, the Democratic Governors Association, the National Educators Association’s public relations arm, as well as the Republican Governor’s Association.

According to his account, Lujan Grisham poured a bottle of water over Hallinan’s crotch at a party and then groped his penis through his pants. The alleged groping Governor has not faced criminal prosecution for her reported assault on Hallinan and is still allowed to teach elementary school kids in the classroom.

Legislative update: Anti-gun measure clears first hurdle, Saturday hearings set for key bills

Leave a Comment / Action Alert, New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Thursday, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee passed a radical anti-gun bill, H.B. 9 by Democrat ballot harvester and Rep. Pamelya Herndon (D-Bernalillo), a radical anti-gun bill that would mandate citizens to lock up their guns. 

“It is unlawful for a person who keeps or stores a firearm to do so in such manner that the firearm is accessed by a minor without the authorization of the minor’s parent or guardian or when used in the commission of a crime,” the bill reads.

It continues, “When a firearm is accessed by a minor and used in the commission of a crime, the person who keeps or stores the firearm commits unlawful access to a firearm by a minor and is guilty of a misdemeanor.”

It passed out of committee on a party-line vote. State Rep. Stefani Lord wrote, “There… seemed to be an issue with people waiting to speak and never got called upon” during the committee. “The people that did call in did a great job.  The bill passed the first committee along straight party lines. This bill makes you a felon if a minor uses your firearm in a nefarious way. You will be charged with a misdemeanor and fined $1,000 if the minor touches your firearm without permission.”

In the Senate, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s proposed bill to reduce the gross receipts tax rate in New Mexico by a meager 0.25 percent hit a wall in the Senate Tax, Business, and Transportation Committee. Also, the House Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee voted 6-4 against the Governor’s hydrogen bill on Thursday.

Far-left Sen. Mimi Stewart (D-Bernalillo) had her radical gas tax on the poor, S.B. 14, pass committee on Thursday with a 6-4 vote. It would result in a 20-35 cent or more per gallon tax increase — harming the poorest New Mexicans already struggling with gas prices on the rise once again amid global conflict.

The bill’s extremist sponsor, who is double-dipping with per diem and charging her electric car at the Capitol, brushed off complaints of the increased cost of gas. “It’s been something like 19 cents over 10 years,” she erroneously claimed.

Although it might appear there are not too many hot-button issues being discussed in committee Friday, on Saturday, there will be multiple bad bills showing up. Here’s what you need to know:

H.J.R. 2, the “Environmental Rights” amendment by Reps. Joanne Ferrary (D-Doña Ana) and Tara Lujan (D-Santa Fe)

This radical bill would enshrine “environmental rights” in the New Mexico Constitution, which would, in effect, put the final nail in the energy industry’s coffin — the fund which provides for most state funds for hospitals and schools, not to mention jobs. This bill was proposed last legislative session and the Piñon Post helped it die before it could reach final passage. 

It’s back and it will have a House Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee hearing on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. The Zoom details are below:

H.B. 68 “CRIMINAL CODE CHANGES” by Rep. Meredith Dixon (D-Bernalillo)

This radical bill turns law-abiding gun owners into felons if they are carrying a gun within a school zone. According to state Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park), “Exceptions are in the car if over age 19” and concealed carry. “However, open carry is LEGAL in NM, but you would now be arrested for a felony if you walked down the sidewalk within 1000 feet of a school zone. If you lived in a school zone, you are now a felon once you walk to your car on the street.”

Other issues with the bill include “school zone” being “defined to mean any public, private or parochial school or property used for school purposes and the area within 1,000 feet of the school property line, but it does not mean a post-secondary school. This bill is unnecessary, overbroad, confusing and sets up legal traps for law-abiding citizens. First, let’s acknowledge that criminals ignore gun-free zones. This bill will impact law-abiding gun owners,” Lord writes.

This bill was to be considered on Tuesday in the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee but was rescheduled for Saturday. The Zoom details are below:

S.B. 43, “PROHIBITING LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE FOR A CHILD,” by Sen. Antoinette Sedillo-Lopez (D-Bernalillo)

This bill would allow youths who are sentenced for violent crimes, including murder, to be released in 15 years despite being given life sentences. The bill was referred to the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee and then the Senate Judiciary Committee.

This bill will be considered on Friday in the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee. The Zoom details are below:

Gas tax bill sponsor has taxpayers foot the bill for charging her electric car

4 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

According to photos exclusively obtained by the Piñon Post, far-left Senate Pro-Tem Sen. Mimi Stewart is taking as much as she possibly can from the New Mexico taxpayers — even plugging in her electric hybrid car in the Legislative parking garage while at work. 

Stewart drives a white Ford C-MAX Energi, which is parked in her assigned spot, as can be seen in the pictures. She is utilizing the outlet on the wall of the parking garage to plug in as she goes to work passing her party’s agenda in the Senate.

This cost comes in addition to Stewart’s $174/day per diem, which is to be spent on gas, food, and lodging. Although it is unlikely to amount to a mammoth amount of money taken from the taxpayers for the electric charge, is it a good look for a sitting state senator to be taking per diem AND grifting as much as possible from the taxpayers.

Stewart is an ardent anti-energy Democrat who has for years proposed an extreme bill that would install “clean fuel standards,” resulting in a 20 to 35 cent per gallon tax on gasoline, which would harm the poorest New Mexicans. 

“This is bigger than just the cost of gasoline…. This program does not really affect the cost of gasoline, like so many other factors that go into it,” Stewart claimed in 2021. She added,  “When everybody talks about, ‘Oh the poor are gonna be hurt,’ I do believe the poor care about the climate.”

To make matters worse, Democrat Sen. Bill Tallman (D-Bernalillo) has sponsored S.B. 55, which would create an “electric vehicle income tax credit,” which would let Sen. Stewart get at least $2,500 in a tax credit since her vehicle falls in the scope of the legislation being bought before January 1, 2027. 

So, the New Mexico taxpayers already subsidizing Stewart’s expenses while at the legislature with per diem are further paying for her electric vehicle’s charging while in Santa Fe and could potentially give the anti-energy legislator a tax credit for owning a hybrid vehicle. 

Legislative update: MLG’s pro-election fraud bill filed, anti-gun bill postponed

1 Comment / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Tuesday, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee pushed consideration of the radical H.B. 68 by Rep. Meredith Dixon (D-Bernalillo) to another date, which angered many Republicans ready to testify against the extremist anti-gun bill that would criminalize people for merely carrying a gun — even just stowing the firearm in a car — within 1,000 feet of a school. This could impact countless law-abiding gun owners who merely live in the vicinity of a school.

Also on Tuesday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that the Democrat majority leaders of the New Mexico House and Senate are co-sponsoring the Governor’s pro-election fraud bill, S.B. 8 to further remove security measures in New Mexico elections — turning them into third-world, fraud-ridden scandals that would make citizens lose all remaining hope in the state’s electoral system. Read the bill’s text here. THIS BILL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THIS SESSION FOR THE GOP TO KILL. It is likely to be introduced during the Senate floor session at 12:00 noon on Wednesday. 

There are upcoming committee hearings on key legislation. Here are the bills on the calendar you need to know about so you can testify against them:

H.B. 33, the “Cigarette and Tabacco Products Tax” by Rep. Joanne Ferrary (D-Doña Ana)

The extreme bill that would increase the tax rate on all tobacco products regardless of source, including an excise tax of 20 cents per cigarette sold was referred to the House Health and Human Services Committee to then be considered by the House Taxation and Revenue Committee.

The Committee will consider the bill on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. The Zoom details are below:

Lujan Grisham’s election fraud bill is here to bring third-world elections to NM

7 Comments / New Mexico, News, Opinion, Politics / By

On Tuesday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced her election fraud bill to create a wild west of election cheating in the state on social media, touting the bill’s file number as S.B. 8, although it was not posted on the New Mexico Legislative website at the time.

Lujan Grisham claimed, “While voting rights are under attack across the country, New Mexico is taking every action to protect and expand them. The New Mexico Voting Rights Act will safeguard access to the ballot box and ensure New Mexicans’ voices are heard.”

Voting rights are not under attack in New Mexico or the country — to the contrary. Many states are expanding the right to vote, but making it harder to cheat, such as in states like Texas, Georgia, and Arizona, which have put safeguards in place to help stop bad actors from infiltrating elections.

According to a press release from Lujan Grisham’s office, far-left Sen. Peter Wirth, who also serves as majority leader in the Senate, is the primary sponsor. 

“Given all that is happening at the national level to stymie voter protections, states must step up to expand ballot access and support voter rights,” claimed Wirth “Our democracy depends on it. I’d like to thank Secretary of State Toulouse Oliver and Governor Lujan Grisham for their leadership on this issue and look forward to getting this bill passed and signed into law.” The United States is not a democracy and voting rights are not under attack or being “stymied.”

“New Mexico has the opportunity to be the innovative leader that expands voter protections and ballot access,” claimed the House Majority Leader Rep. Javier Martínez (D-Bernalillo), legislation sponsor in that chamber. “SB 8 will make sure the people of our state can freely and safely exercise their constitutional right to vote and we can protect our core democratic values.”

Democrat Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, who has constantly attempted to weaken New Mexico’s elections and has refused to clean up voter rolls, claimed, “This legislation now gives us the chance to pass one of the most powerful voting rights bills in our state’s history.”

However, the alleged “voter protections” not only erode the right to legally vote in New Mexico, they create opportunity after opportunity to implement fraud across the board, such as giving voters seven full days after an election to return an absentee ballot — an easy way for radical leftists to swing elections by harvesting and stuffing ballots in drop boxes (something already in place in the state) to swing elections after the fact. 

Other provisions in the bill include:

  • Increasing voter access by designating Election Day as a state holiday and allowing 16 year-olds to participate in local elections;
  • Creating a permanent absentee voter list that allows individuals to voluntarily receive mail ballots for each election without needing to make individual requests;
  • Expanding online voter registration opportunities by allowing individuals without MVD-issued ID to register online using their full social security number;
  • Supporting Native voting access by expanding the timeline for indigenous nations, tribes, and pueblos to request alternate voting sites;
  • Improving automatic voter registration by adopting a system that provides a mechanism for eligible individuals to become automatically registered to vote upon completing a transaction at the Motor Vehicle Department;
  • Enabling nominating petition signatures to be securely submitted electronically; and
  • Automatically restoring the voting rights of those convicted of a felony who are not currently incarcerated.

This legislative session, this bill should be THE SOLE BILL REPUBLICANS FOCUS ON to stop in its tracks, or the books will be cooked for years in the state, with little to no hope of going back. This is the kind of third-world illegal voting fraud that goes on in countries like Venezuela with its dictator Nicolas Maduro and Cameroon with its dictator Paul Biya  — not the United States of America.

Call your senators and representatives and demand they oppose S.B. 8, a bill solely focused on sowing more election fraud into New Mexico elections. Find your legislators here.

Not satire: Anti-parent MLG starts ‘Proud Parents for Michelle’ group

2 Comments / New Mexico, News, Politics / By

On Tuesday, anti-parent alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham posted an eyebrow-raising social media message touting a new group she’s starting — “Proud Parents for Michelle.”

The scandal-ridden disgraced politician wrote, “Are you a New Mexico Parent? We want to hear from you – join our Parents for Michelle supporter group today,” sharing a link to a signup sheet, which asks, “Do you support all that Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Democrats have accomplished over the past 3 years?”

Lujan Grisham shut down public schools for months, forcing countless children to go without education during the pandemic, and doing next to nothing to fix New Mexico’s low-ranking child well-being. 

During Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s run for Virginia governor, the ex-governor claimed, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” He lost to Republican Glenn Youngkin.

Lujan Grisham, who is the chair of the Democrat Governors Association, refused to condemn the anti-parent statement.

She also has been trying to inject racist Critical Race Theory into the New Mexico public schools, which would create a racist environment in New Mexico schools to pit children against each other based on race. She sponsored and passed the most extreme abortion up-to-birth and infanticide bill in the nation.

MLG’s draft PED social studies rules full of CRT, anti-Hispanic, anti-police sentiments

Now, Lujan Grisham appears to be pandering for votes by a recent publicity stunt where she claims she is volunteering as a substitute teacher and now attempting to get parental support after running one of the most anti-parent administrations in New Mexico.
