We need the public to demand that the state follow the required process, that the due diligence is done on this project.
They’re operating without actually going through the process of determining whether or not that well is adversely affecting others in the region.
If an individual — regardless of if they are in law enforcement or not — did so, they must be held accountable.
Our state’s name carries generations of history, culture, and family—and it belongs to us. We’re New Mexicans. Period.
