The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:00 a.m. in Room 1100, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Bill Richardson [chairman of the subcommittee] presiding. STATEMENT OF HON. BILL RICHARDSON Mr. RICHARDSON. The hearing will come to order. This is the first in a series of oversight hearings on the imple­ mentation of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Today we will hear testimony from Indian tribes, the Interior Department, the National Indian Gaming Commission, Members of Congress, and Governors of States. Before we begin, I want to stress the seriousness with which this subcommittee approaches this topic. I believe this to be one of the most significant matters we will deal with in Indian affairs during this 103rd Congress. · I also am compelled to mention that the oversight function is one of the most important activities of the Congress. With a new sub­ committee such as this one, oversight is the key to understanding issues, educating Members and framing the debate. We have deliberately chosen not to consider any specific legisla­ tive proposals in these hearings, but rather to keep an open mind with regard to all comments, suggestions and information pre­ sented to us. Public policy cannot be properly made unless the con­ cerns of all interested parties are aired and considered. There are some fundamental points about Indian affairs that I must make at the outset. First, I have been in the Congress for ten years, and I believe that Indian affairs is the one area of the Fed­ eral policy in which we have consistently failed in our obligations. Ninety-three thousand Indian people are homeless or living in sub­ standard housing. Indian adolescents have a suicide attempt rate four times higher than other ethnic groups.

  • 2019 NMC Legislative Summary
    2019 Final Legislative Report 54TH LEGISLATURE FIRST SESSION Session Summary Another New Mexico Legislative session has come and gone and is now in the record books (thankfully). Like all sessions, the 2019 one was unique, interesting, entertaining, frustrating and, sometimes, rewarding. Let’s take a quick look at what happened: All of the New Mexico House of Representatives were up for election in November, and New Mexico had its version of the national “blue wave.” There are now 46 Democrats and 24 Republicans in the House, the largest Democratic majority since 1994 (53-17). State Senators are not up for election until next year, so that body stays at 26 Democrats and 16 Republicans. New Mexico also elected a new Governor, Michelle Lujan-Grisham, who is a former Bernalillo County Commissioner, U.S. Congresswoman and long-time cabinet secretary for Governors Bruce King, Gary Johnson, and Bill Richardson. In the 2019 Legislative session, the House introduced 695 bills, 16 joint memorials, 11 joint resolutions, and 94 memorials. The Senate introduced 675 bills, 20 joint memorials, 19 joint resolutions, and 131 memorials. We, along with many legislators, expected a much larger number of bills. In all, the Legislature passed 309 bills and the Governor signed 281, vetoed 15, and pocket vetoed 13. In the tax arena, the counties were finally able to “de-earmark” many of our gross receipts tax silos, a major accomplishment. A big thanks to Representative Jason Harper, Legislative Council Service drafter Pam Stokes, and former New Mexico Counties (NMC) financial whiz Santiago Chavez for wrapping this up for us.
