School in Gorham, Maine, will no longer hold A glass pipe, two packs of rolling papers, two OCTOBER 15-21 , 2015 WEEKLY ALIBI [5] NEWS CITY NEWS | COUNCIL WATCH BY AUGUST MARCH Conservation Fund Expires Four fifths of New Mexico’s congressional delegation, including Albuquerque’s Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), favor continued funding of Got Voters? the Federal Land and Conservation Fund. This program insures efforts to acquire and protect land and water resources within privately held Election results and more land near federally protected areas. The fund has been in place for 50 years but was allowed to expire at the end of September. It gets its money from royalties paid by energy companies extracting resources from publicly owned areas of the Outer Continental Shelf of North America. While democrats such as Grisham and Representative Ben Ray Luján (D) of District 3 point to the program’s relevance—Luján told the Albuquerque Journal the fund “has helped protect New Mexico’s precious land and water resources that are a part of our heritage”— majority republicans feel otherwise. Congressman Steve Pearce (R) has aligned himself with the chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, Rob Bishop (R-Utah) in calling for massive revisions to the fund’s purpose and funding sources. NM Senator Martin Heinrich (D) recently introduced legislation to restore funding to the program, while NM Senator Udall (D) recently spoke out about the fund’s positive impact on our state’s economy. Medical Cannabis Producers Added Although Mayor Richard Berry’s veto of an ILLO BY TAMARA ordinance effectively decriminalizing personal use of marijuana survived override attempts at last week’s city council meeting, the state has begun the process of authorizing 12 new medical information on future ballots by only You Got Served cannabis producers.
