New Mexico Democrats mostly rebuff calls from Democratic governor to address high crime rates
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Democrats in the state legislative majority on Thursday resisted calls by New Mexico’s governor for immediate action to address the “dangerous intersection” of crime and homelessness, shunning her proposals to enhance criminal penalties, restrict panhandling and expand involuntary detention and treatment for mental health problems. Instead, the Legislature sent the governor a solitary bill that expands pilot programs for voluntary treatment of people with severe mental illness and addiction problems, along with an emergency aid package in response to devastating wildfires that burned through a village in southern New Mexico in June. “We absolutely have a responsibility to do something about those people who are on the merry-go-round through our court system,” Democratic state Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, of Albuquerque, said as the Legislature convened. “But the answer isn’t to say we should start putting them in jail. The answer is to say we should start providing services.” The bill won final legislative approval on a 30-0 vote of the Senate, which adjourned the special session over the objections of Republican lawmakers who found common cause with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a two-term Democrat.

Last year, according to Little, there was no requirement that students attend a certain number of days of school in order to get credit. Previous to this coming school year (2024-2025) the only policy was that students had 10 days to make up missed assignments, but Little also noted that it was up to the teacher how strict they wanted to enforce this rule, and that it was never consistently upheld by the teachers. He said, “This one has a little more bite to it.”
