New Mexico Lawmakers Frustrated with Slow Behavioral Health System Rebuild

New Mexico lawmakers have expressed frustration over the slow progress in rebuilding the state's behavioral health system. The effort, initiated by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's signing of the Behavioral Health Reform and Investment Act in 2025, aims to address gaps in the system following a previous administration's actions that led to the withdrawal of several providers. The state has been divided into 13 regions, each tasked with developing plans to meet local needs. However, only two regions have had their plans approved, leading to confusion and calls for a more coordinated statewide approach.

New Mexico Faces Challenges in Reducing Rio Grande Water Use

New Mexico Faces Challenges in Reducing Rio Grande Water Use

New Mexico is under pressure to reduce its water usage from the Rio Grande following a settlement in a Supreme Court case with Texas. The settlement requires New Mexico to decrease groundwater pumping that depletes the river's flow to Texas, with compliance costs estimated at over $150 million. The state plans to buy water rights from farmers and shut off wells to meet the settlement's requirements. However, ongoing drought conditions and climate change pose significant challenges, with expectations of 25% less water availability in 50 years. The settlement introduces a new accounting method to measure water flow into Texas, and failure to comply could result in penalties or further legal action.
