Description
So much of our everyday life depends on the actions of our volunteer New Mexico legislature. Everything from our children’s education to the regulation of horse racing, the availability of medical care, and the care of our environment depends on the legislature’s brief sessions – this year only 30 days in length. How does a bill become a law, and how are bad bills stopped? How can we affect what happens there to be as much to our liking as possible?
Lance Chilton has been a child advocate for years and takes an annual month or two to work for the Legislative Finance Committee, analyzing bills mostly having to do with children or health. Camilla Feibelman is a registered lobbyist and Director of the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club with a great interest in protection of our beautiful New Mexico environment.
