    President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 March 5, 2013 Dear President Obama, From the winding footpaths of California’s Pacific Crest Trail, to the Peak of Cadillac Mountain at Maine’s Acadia National Park, our country’s parks, forests and wildlife refuges are where Americans make some of their most cherished memories. Our nation’s public lands are an integral part of our recreational, cultural, historical and economic heritage. Yet many of these iconic landscapes are facing increasing threats from overdevelopment, pollution and underfunding. As a far-reaching coalition of groups ranging from environmentalists to veterans to hunters and anglers to local business owners and elected officials, we urge you to protect our nation’s treasured public lands. Future generations deserve the opportunity to experience these iconic pieces of our American legacy. You can help ensure their protection by calling for full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund in your upcoming FY14 budget proposal. Today we are sending you a list of 401 signers onto 16 state-specific letters to express the broad range of support that exists for protecting our public lands, and the programs they depend on, such as the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Each state-specific letter highlights local iconic parks, forests and wildlife refuges that are listed by that state below, along with that state’s signers to those letters. Each state’s letter to the president states: The annual diversion of Land and Water Conservation Fund funds to non-conservation purposes has left a legacy of backlogged conservation and recreation needs and missed opportunities to safeguard our natural heritage.

No. ____________________ NEW MEXICO PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT and SECRETARY-DESIGNEE HANNA SKANDERA in her official capacity, Defendants. COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF COME NOW, Plaintiffs, by and through the undersigned, and for their Complaint against Defendants state as follows: I. INTRODUCTION 1. Plaintiffs bring this action against the Public Education Department and its Secretary-Designee, in her official capacity only, because Defendants have implemented a fundamental change in the manner in which teachers are evaluated in New Mexico. As detailed in this Complaint, that change is based on a fundamentally, and irreparably, flawed methodology which is further plagued by consistent and appalling data errors. As a result, teachers are being evaluated, and employment decisions made, based on a process that is, at best, arbitrary and capricious. 2. Due to the problems with the evaluation methodology detailed herein, Defendants have or are about to violate Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights, violate the statutory authority under which they operate, and violate other provisions of law. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief. II. PARTIES, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE 3. Plaintiff the Honorable Senator Mimi Stewart is the elected Senator from District 17 (Bernalillo County).

Terry Sanford said, “We must never forget that although each of us may represent a different perspective in education, we all share the belief that we live in an explosive era when a massive effort must be made to improve the education of every American.” These words are just as true today. State leaders know they can’t improve education alone. Despite our diversity, we can share experiences and innovations across state lines to benefit every student across the country. In fact we must do so, because the explosion of the education frontier makes it almost impossible for one state to tackle the breathtaking number of education issues it faces.

  • Disability Issues in the 2009 Legislature Final Report
    DISABILITY ISSUES IN THE 2009 LEGISLATURE FINAL REPORT By Jim Jackson, Executive Director PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY SYSTEM May 2009 HIGHLIGHTS Guardianship, Autism Bills Enacted. HB 161, a package of statutory changes that will improve oversight and accountability for guardians of incapacitated adults, passed the legislature unanimously and has been signed into law by Governor Richardson. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Bill O’Neill of Albuquerque, reflected the recommendations of a task force that has studied the state’s guardianship system over the past two years. SB 39, which requires state-regulated private health insurance policies to cover services for children with autism, was also signed into law. Passage of the bill, sponsored by Sen. Clint Harden, was a major breakthrough for the autism community. As noted below, several other bills of interest to persons with disabilities also passed the legislature and have been signed into law, and an unusually large number of memorials were also passed. Governor’s Vetoes Undercut Disability Funding Gains. As highlighted in our recent post- session legislative report, there were a few bright spots for the disability community in this year’s otherwise dismal state budget (HB 2). Unfortunately, Governor Bill Richardson used his line item veto power to eliminate one of those appropriations and limit the others. A veto by the governor eliminated the $175,000 appropriation that would have supported a pilot program in the Albuquerque area to monitor guardianships of adults with disabilities, including frail elders. This funding, so hard to come by in this tight budget year, had been added to the bill late in the legislative process by Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino.
