County Clerk Calls for Election Workers

The County Clerk's office is calling for volunteers--who receive some payment for their service--to sign up now to work the primary election on June 1, 2010, and the general election on November 2, 2010. To volunteer, you must be a registered voter. For details, contact Lynn Gary, Election Workers Coordinator, at 986-6379.

Water Supply & Demand

LWVNM approved a two-year study of water supply and demand in 2007 and in 2009 expanded that study to a third year. The League will develop a statewide position on the allocation of available water among competing uses, grounded in a basic understanding of NM water availability and water law.
Consensus questions for the current state study have been developed in four areas:

Definition of "public welfare"
Role of regional water planning
Linking land use with water availability
Water conservation

The study guide prepared by the resource committee includes a one-page background paper for each question and a check list that will serve as the basis of discussion during the unit meetings to be held during the fall and winter of 2009-2010.
