NM House Democrats reject another opportunity to overturn MLG’s EV mandate

This morning in the House Energy Committee HB 270 was heard. The bill would have overturned the Gov.’s 43% EV mandate (set to take effect later this year) and would remove the authority of the Environment Department (NMED), the Environmental Improvement Board, local boards and entities, and counties and municipalities from adopting or enforcing similar rules.

A robust and informative debate took place, but sadly NO Democrat was willing to buck the hard-left of their party and support the freedom of New Mexicans to purchase the vehicle of their choice (of course they’d also be standing up for the Legislature to enact such sweeping laws as opposed to the Gov.).

But, Democrat Reps. McQueen, Sariñana, Abeyta, Meredith Dixon, Yanira Gurrola, and Miguel Garcia all refused to support the legislation.
