PNM struggles with rising fuel cost issues

At the start of the year people started receiving their monthly expenses like usual but discovered the prices were anything but normal. According to a notice sent by New Mexico Gas Company last year, the company experienced a 36% hike in the cost of gas purchased on behalf of customers since September 2021.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham endorsed a bill that would send one-time rebates of $750 to single tax filers, or $1,500 to joint tax filers. “I look forward to working with the Legislature to put more money back in the pockets of New Mexico families,” she said in a tweet on Wednesday, Jan. 25.

The Office of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham today announced the retirement of Dr. David Scrase from state government. Scrase, who lives in Placitas, served as secretary of the Human Services Department since the governor took office in 2019, and served as Acting Secretary of the Department of Health between 2021 and 2022.
