OPENING STATEMENT BY SENATOR PETE V. DOXENICI, PRESIDING Senator DoMExNcI. Will the hearing please come to order. This is an exciting day for the Senate Special Committee on Aging. We are trying to gather information that will help us in the U.S. Sen- ate as we look toward next year and the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act, and as we examine various other Federal programs that are directed at helping our senior citizens. We have asked experts from around the country and local experts from our communities to come and tell us what communities, cities, counties, and agencies of State government are doing to focus atten- tion on crime a~id the elderly. This afternoon, we will have only a few minutes where the com- mittee will participate. Then we will conduct a workshop at which those who are involved in handling crime and the elderly under various programs in our country will exchange views with New Mexico law enforcement people and New Mexico volunteer organizations who also deal with crime and the elderly. Our hope is that two significant bene- fits will be derived from this encounter. The Senate will have a record of how serious crime is for the elderly, where we find it and in what areas, and what can be done about it. The second hope is that this hear- ing will promote an enthusiastic exchange of ideas as a result of the testimony of experts who are participating in local community or statewide activities. This will enable people in the State to have a greater sensitivity about crime and the elderly. But aging professionals are not the only ones who will benefit from this comprehensive approach. Volunteer oranizations that have the capacity to work with law enforcement ofcials and work with senior citizens mnay also profit in their ability to assist elderly citizens to deal with crime. (1) 2 I am very pleased to have Congressman Lujan present today. He is going to open the hearing with me. He has a time schedule of his own, but I want to say to him that I am very appreciative that he could come and join us. I know of your genuine concern for the elderly, Congressman, not only in our State, but on a national level. I had an opening statement which I think I will just have made a part of the record. [The prepared statement of Senator Domenici follows:] PREPARED STATEMENT OF SENATOR PETE V. DOMENICI Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to be here in Albuquerque this morning to discuss the problem of crime and the elderly. This hearing and the workshop that follows are intended to provide the Senate Special Committee on Aging with the information we need to begin a thorough examination of crime against the elderly and the positive preventive steps which can be taken to minimize this problem. Before I go on, I would like to acknowledge that this all-day hearing and work- shop are being held in conjunction with the American Association of Retired Persons/National Retired Teachers Association, the New Mexico Law Enforce- ment Academy, and the New Mexico State Agency on Aging. These organizations and agencies share my belief that we need to explore crime and crime prevention techniques as they affect older persons. It is my understanding that this is the first time in the history of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging that a formal hearing has been held on the topic of crime and the elderly. There is no question in my mind but that criminal victimization remains a continuing problem for older Americans. When we consider older persons and crime, two key factors come into play. First, the elderly person's heightened vulnerability and, second, the fear that flows from awareness of their condition. For example, among urban elderly public housing residents, the fear factor is many times higher than the actual crime rate. While available statistics indicate that the elderly are the targets of crimes less often than younger persons, there is also a general consensus among author- ities that: Criminal attacks have a more devastating impact upon the elderly; physical injuries are slower to heal; greater psychological distress results; and economic losses are more difficult to recoup.

    History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 pages This PDF History Timeline has been extracted from the History World web site's time line. The PDF is a very simplified version of the History World timeline. The PDF is stripped of all the links found on that timeline. If an entry attracts your interest and you want further detail, click on the link at the foot of each of the PDF pages and query the subject or the PDF entry on the web site, or simply do an internet search. When I saw the History World timeline I wanted a copy of it for myself and my family in a form that we could access off-line, on demand, on the device of our choice. This PDF is the result. What attracted me particularly about the History World timeline is that each event, which might be earth shattering in itself with a wealth of detail sufficient to write volumes on, and indeed many such events have had volumes written on them, is presented as a sort of pared down news head-line. Basic unadorned fact. Also, the History World timeline is multi-faceted. Most historic works focus on their own area of interest and ignore seemingly unrelated events, but this timeline offers glimpses of cross-sections of history for any given time, embracing art, politics, war, nations, religions, cultures and science, just to mention a few elements covered. The view is fascinating. Then there is always the question of what should be included and what excluded.

The Criminal Justice Reform Subcommittee (CJRS) of the CCJ, a bipartisan group of eight members of the CCJ, met four times in Albuquerque to discuss and receive presentations about the state's criminal justice system and the need for reforms to improve that system. This interim, the CCJ heard from many state officials and advocates about how the state's economic struggles have affected corrections facilities and jails, incarceration rates, the incidence of substance use disorders and the prioritization of funding among criminal justice-related agencies. State officials updated the committee about the progress on work to reduce the state's backlog of untested sexual assault examination kits and to implement policies to reduce future backlogs. Several presenters addressed bail reform efforts in the state, including the passage and effect of a related constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2016 and rules promulgated by the New Mexico Supreme Court following that amendment.

The committee recommendation for recurring appropriations from the general fund is a little more than requested at $7.36 billion, up $298.4 million, or 4 percent, from FY21 spending levels. While revenues in FY21 are expected to decline from the current year, and revenues for the current year are down from the prior year, the state is in a better position than initially anticipated, with good financial planning by the Legislature and federal stimulus support to businesses and the unemployed partially offsetting the effects of a pandemic-induced gutting of the economy and a crash in oil prices and production.

  • MJ Alarid Caudillo Justice- Intercultural Conflict and Social
    Caudillo Justice: Intercultural Conflict and Social Change in Santa Fe, New Mexico, 1837-1853. Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael J. Alarid, MA Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Randolph Roth, Advisor Kenneth Andrien John F. Guilmartin Copyright by Michael Joseph Alarid 2012 ABSTRACT This project is the story of the Hispanos in New Mexico who were caught within the maelstrom of American colonization, of complex peoples with their own power structures who occupied a space in the path of a burgeoning empire. More specifically, this is the tale of how an ethnically distinct, religiously different, and politically and economically savvy people endured the process of American colonization. My focus is 1837 to 1853, and I examine the relationship between Hispanos and incoming immigrants; first from Mexico and later from the United States. I seek to challenge previously held notions about how the process of territorialization played out in Santa Fe County and New Mexico more broadly during both the Mexican and American periods. I argue that the New Mexican “elites” were in actuality Mexican caudillos: local strongmen who utilized their vast kinship networks and wealth to dictate regional policy – providing protection to the local population when it was in their best interest, exploiting and intimidating them when it was not. My approach considers multiple variables, such as class, race, economy, criminality, resistance, and accommodation, as well as how each of these variables influenced the strategies and actions of multiple social groups – New Mexican landholders, poor vecinos, Anglo settlers, and the territorial authorities in Santa Fe County.

If one or more chapters amended the same section of existing statutes, the version that becomes law is the version in the last bill signed. The Governor has line-item veto power over bills containing appropriations. Partial vetoes are designated by striking through the deleted language. The designation “CS/” or “FL/” before a bill means “Committee Substitute” or “Floor Substitute” indicating that a House or Senate Committee or the entire House or Senate, during a floor session, passed a rewritten version in place of the original bill. The effective date of the signed bill is shown at the end of the chapter summary. Unless a specific effective date is listed in the bill, it is effective 90 calendar days after the close of the session (June 15 this year) or, if it is an appropriation, on July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year. Bills with an emergency clause (*) become effective on the date signed by the Governor. Proposed Constitutional Amendments (CA) are in the form of joint resolutions passed by both houses and are numbered in order of final passage. They do not require the Governor’s signature, but are enacted if they receive voter approval by a majority vote at a statewide general or special election.

  • Drug Abuse and Organized Crime in New Mexico a Report on the Problem and the Resources by the Governor's Organized Crime Prevention Commission Ncjr~3
    1# '" • ~ ~----------------~.~.~-------------------- DRUG ABUSE AND ORGANIZED CRIME IN NEW MEXICO A REPORT ON THE PROBLEM AND THE RESOURCES BY THE GOVERNOR'S ORGANIZED CRIME PREVENTION COMMISSION NCJR~3 NOV 31978 ACQUISITIONS THIS REPORT IS DEDICATED TO WILLIAM TARANGELO (1924 - 1976) A DEDICATED SERVANT OF LA W AND JUSTICE "\ 11.. " TO THE GOVERNOR AND MEMBERS OF THE NEW MEXICO LEGISLATURE For years",drug trafficking has been a profitable business for organized criminal groups. The Governor's Organized Crime Prevention Commission recognizes its statutory duty to investigate the problem and recommend action. The report which follows is uur effort to provide the most comprehensive portrait possible of drug abuse and its relationship to organized crime in New Mexico. The portrait is not a comforting one. The forces of criminal conspiracy-major narcotics traffickers and large­ scale marijuana smugglers-are well-organized, well-financed, and well-equipped. They have clearly outmatched the public resources which are trying to counter them. Your leadership and your action are necessary if organized drug trafficking is to be effectively controlled in New Mexico. We recommend a number of steps toward that goal which can and should be undertaken promptly. Top priority should be given to: Implementation of a statewide Drug Enforcement Coordinating Council and Drug Intelligence Information Network; Formation and Funding of a Major Offenders U nit in the State Police Narcotics Division; and Establishment of record-keeping systems that accurately' reflect the effectiveness of drug law enforcement and treatment programs. For too long the major narcotics traffickers and marijuana smugglers have mocked the limited capabilities of our state and have enjoyed their tax-free gains with little fear of penalty.
