NM’s State Land Office is more reliant on oil/gas than it was before Garcia Richard took office

Shortly after taking office in 2019, New Mexico’s Democrat Commissioner of Public Lands created a new logo for her office in which she emphasized the role of her office in “renewable” energy. See that logo here.

Recently we posted in this space that “renewables” amounted to just 0.16% of the Land Office’s revenues, but even more ironic is the fact that (as can be seen from the chart and article below) oil and gas actually generate a higher overall percentage of the Land Office’s revenues than they did back in FY 2018 when Garcia Richard took over.
