Officials at the state Environment Department made the request to keep the rules from being published.

A state records official confirmed Wednesday that he has received the request and the rules will not be published.

The move is being criticized by environmental groups and lawyers who spent the past two years debating the merits of the rules before state regulators. They contend the administration is circumventing the law.

****“In a clear sign that polluters in New Mexico will have free reign under her administration,****

The only pollution I ever saw in NM (other than the Waterflow Power Plant on the Navajo Rez) was the junk in people’s yards.

At least in Arkansas and Oklahoma the grass grows so tall it hides our junk (till a wildfire comes through and exposes it);-D

How nice that she’s really doing what she said she’d do and not losing any time doing it!

I bet the folks that work for her are quaking in their boots thinking uh-oh change has come.

“In a clear sign that polluters in New Mexico will have free reign under her administration, Gov. Susana Martinez today nominated global warming denier and former astronaut Harrison ‘Jack’ Schmitt to head the state’s Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department.

“On many occasions, Schmitt has scoffed at decades of sound scientific evidence and a mountain of research that validated the human causes of global climate change.

“‘Martinez promised bold change and she’s bringing it in the form of an appointee at odds with the basic tenets of science and reason,’ said DPNM Executive Director Scott Forrester. ‘This appointment is a clear signal to Martinez’s big-oil backers that the days of basic protections for New Mexicans’ air and drinking water are
