BREAKING: Another Day, Another New Fee from Lujan Grisham Administration
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 13, 2026 CONTACT: [email protected] Albuquerque – Today, the Lujan Grisham administration announced they will be raising a new environmental fee for the first time in decades. The state Environment Department relied on the unelected Environmental Improvement Board to hand down the new fee. In response, Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement: ”This action is just the latest example of the Lujan Grisham administration never meeting a fee increase they didn’t like and once again, working families will be stuck holding the bill. Rather than having the courage to pass a bill and sign off on the increase themselves, they’re hiding behind an unelected board to do their dirty work. This move has nothing to do with clean air, it’s really about a pattern of higher costs, less accountability, and bureaucrats raising fees New Mexicans never wanted.” |
