ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez on Tuesday took aim at the controversial Environmental Improvement Board, announcing that she was removing all members over concerns about the board's approval in recent months of what she considers "antibusiness" policies.
...
Martinez said in a statement that New Mexico has been hurt by policies that discourage economic development and result in businesses fleeing the state.

"Unfortunately, the majority of EIB members have made it clear that they are more interested in advancing political ideology than implementing commonsense policies that balance economic growth with responsible stewardship in New Mexico," Martinez said.

11. Exactly

And they GOP wants to go back to that.

The guy in charge of insuring our company complies with environmental laws declared that he will do everything he can to persuade the government to relax those regulations because they are too strict. He grew up in the Cleveland area.

I remind him of the burning river all the time.
