The Governor’s Small Business-Friendly Task Force
Governor Susana Martinez’s first Executive Order, adopted on January 1st, moments after she was sworn in, called for the formation of the “Small Business-Friendly Task Force” to review the states existing rules and regulations in order to determine if the “rescinding or revision of which could significantly enhance the business environment in New Mexico through economic development and employment growth.“ (Read full Executive Order)
The folks at Clearly New Mexico where curious about what exactly the Task Force was up to since January and had to file an open records request with the state to find out who is on the task force and what it was meeting about. One of the records they received was an email with the subject: “Governor’s Mid Point Small Business Task Force Report.“ (See SBF Task Force Mid Point Report in PDF format)
The Mid Point Report states clearly that one of the Task Force’s main tasks is to gut environmental protections. Visit Clearly New Mexico to find out more.
