New Mexico Legislators Guide to Rural Transportafion New Mexico Legislators Guide To Rural Transportation Purpose: The purpose of this educational material is to increase legislative awareness of Regional Planning Organization (RPO) structure, jurisdiction, membership, and rural transportation related needs across the state of New Mexico. New Mexico Association of Regional Councils (NewMARC), is focused on providing clear, concise, and consistent information to establish a solid understanding of goals, objectives, and results of RPO’s. RPO in a nutshell A Regional Planning Organization (RPO) is a collaborative between: New Mexico Association of Regional Councils (NewMARC) New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Local and Tribal Governments NMDOT contracts with NewMARC to manage RPO’s which deliver: A local prioritization of transportation related projects. A forum for communication and discussion on transportation related, policies, issues, and training opportunities. A network for technical assistance on transportation related funding sources and cycles. The core strength of the RPO structure is the voting membership from local governments including municipal, county, and tribal governments. The RPO membership consists of a wide range of professions, including engineering, planning, public works, community development, and elected officials. A Chairman and a Vice Chairman are elected by the voting membership in order to conduct official meetings and provide leadership to the organization. RPO’s abide by organization bylaws and comply with the Open Meetings Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and offer a Public Comment period at each official meeting. RPO Jurisdiction and Funding Scenario New Mexico RPO jurisdictions are an overlay of 6 NMDOT districts, 7 NewMARC districts, and 7 RPO districts. This jurisdictional alignment requires a diverse set of meeting and staffing related solutions in order to maintain RPO deliverables. Within some of the RPO’s lies a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), this is responsible for higher population centers such as Albuquerque, Farmington, Las Cruces, Santa Fe, and cooperation with El Paso MPO. The primary difference between an MPO and RPO is simply funding, and the ability to program that funding. MPO’s have the opportunity to play a more decisive role in regards to funding. RPO’s mostly rely on a Regional Transportation Improvement Plan Recommendation (RTIPR) which in some cases gets consolidated into a ZIPPER where there are multiple RPO’s within a NMDOT District, such as District 5 which contains three RPO jurisdictions. The NMDOT Districts then take the recommendations into consideration when developing the State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP), but there is a multitude of factors that determine the outcome of the STIP. Although the RPO’s are in very good hands with the NMDOT Districts, rural communities lack dedicated annual funding and the ability to program that funding at the discretion of the RPO.

  • Animal Protection Voters-‐Political Action Committee Issues 2016
    Animal Protection Voters-Political Action Committee Issues 2016 Primary and Early General Election Endorsements for New Mexico Legislature Voters are urged to support the candidates who will do the best job of standing up for the protection of animals in their districts. Santa Fe, N.M. – Animal Protection Voters (APV), the leading political and legislative advocacy organization for animal protection in New Mexico, works via APV-PAC, its political action committee, to support humane candidates for elected office. APV-PAC announced today its endorsement of 19 candidates facing contested races in the primary election on June 7, and early endorsement of 56 candidates seeking election or re-election in the general election on November 8. Incumbents won endorsements for consistently showing animal advocacy and leadership through votes and other actions in the state legislature. New challengers and candidates received endorsements based on their past activity involving animal issues, as well as their responses to a questionnaire on topics including wildlife protection, anti-whistleblower legislation, horse slaughter and funding for animal-related programs. APV-PAC endorsement decisions emphasized two APV priority bills expected to be reintroduced in the 2017 legislative session: a ban on coyote killing contests, and a ban on traps and poisons on public lands. A growing majority of New Mexicans oppose traps and killing contests as unethical and ineffective wildlife management and a danger to public safety. “Most New Mexicans support stronger animal protection laws, and we are delighted to endorse a diverse, bipartisan slate of candidates who will represent the humane vision and values of their constituents,” said Jessica Johnson, Chief Legislative Officer for APV.

    New Mexico State Legislature STATE CAPITOL Santa Fe September 22, 2020 VIA EMAIL: [email protected]; [email protected] Kristine L. Svinicki, Chair United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 RE: Holtec International HI-STORE Consolidated Interim Storage Draft Environmental Impact Statement; Docket ID NRC-2018-0052 Dear Chair Svinicki: We write to express our opposition to the proposed Holtec International Consolidated Interim Storage (CIS) facility and concerns about the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). This project creates unreasonable health, economic and national security risks for New Mexico and its residents. It would expose many communities to risks during the transportation and storage of high-level radioactive waste. We believe that the scope of the DEIS fails to adequately and reliably assess the risks of this unprecedented proposed project and the many technical variables that exceed national experience. Furthermore, given the impacts of shipping high-level radioactive waste across the country to New Mexico, we are very disappointed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) lack of appropriate adequate outreach and public engagement opportunities required by law. The public engagement webinars, substituted by the NRC for the promised in- person meetings, fall far short of the meaningful participation opportunities essential to many impacted people who lack internet service. We urge the NRC to prolong the DEIS process and convene in-person hearings no earlier than six months after the risks of transmission of COVID-19 have ended. Our specific concerns of the Holtec proposal and the DEIS include the following. 1. There is no permanent disposal site for the nation's high-level radioactive waste.

In 2016, meetings were scheduled to be held in Santa Fe at the State Capitol on June 10, July 22, September 19, October 4 and November 14, with Senator John M. Sapien as chair and Representative Dennis J. Roch as vice chair. During the June 10 organizational meeting, members approved a work plan for the 2016 interim for approval by the New Mexico Legislative Council. In addition to the task force's statutory duties, members agreed to include the following issues: • the continuing Zuni lawsuit, including information about the upcoming district court hearing; • an examination of the cost of ownership and operation of school facilities; • charter school facilities; • progress on implementation of the Broadband Deficiencies Correction Program; • an assessment of the efficacy of the public school capital outlay funding formula; and • cost-effective disposal of unused or under-used public school facilities. The task force also heard testimony during the June meeting from economists from the University of New Mexico's Bureau of Business and Economic Research regarding their assessment of the efficacy of the public school capital outlay funding formula, which was conducted in late 2015 and early 2016.
