Santa Fe New Mexico (Nov. 14, 2021) — House GOP Leader Jim Townsend says that a cleaner New Mexico economy is a worthy goal, but warns that extreme Green policies are hurting New Mexicans instead of helping. In an opinion editorial published on Sunday, Nov. 14, 2021, Rep. Townsend writes, “Whether it’s higher gasoline prices, costlier heating and cooling bills, and more expensive cars and trucks, those in charge are more than willing to force these higher prices on working families as the cost for being a “global leader” on climate change. These edicts have already proven to be detrimental to working families in European economies, and now we are supposed to sit by and allow one of the most impoverished states in the nation to carry the eco-left’s Green New Deal experiment.”
