Good Evening New Mexico Activists:
If you didn’t catch our earlier Alert today, please go to this link to read about how we can stop HB 229 Hydrogen Hub Development. Now, to the one new hearing tomorrow (as of 6:30 tonight):
NEW! Mon., Feb. 14, 11 a.m., Rm. 321, Senate Judiciary is scheduled to hear HB 132 Interest Rates for Certain Loans, the 36% rate bill. If we can get this 36% rate bill passed this year, it will be a major victory, and something long overdue. Please read the talking points at the link above and email and call committee members first thing in the morning to urge them to support HB 132. We encourage you to participate in the hearing Zoom to offer public comment, take the on-screen poll, and express your support for this bill. HB 132 is 9th on the agenda, so we’re not sure if they’ll get to it, but we hope they do. Time is running out!
To participate in the hearing Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83347538157. Or via telephone 1-669-900-9128. Webinar ID: 833 4753 8157. Or watch the hearing by Webcast at nmlegis.gov.
