[LWVNM Action] Public Education- $5.9 billion requested

Fri Sep 25 11:54:47 MDT 2026

Please see below.  PED is still not meeting the court- ordered requirements
of the Yazzie-Martinez agreement. Close to half of the state budget goes to
education. We have to do better!

Data center pushback continues to mount ahead of the election, with U.S.
Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) yesterday becoming the latest official
to propose a pause on such developments ahead of creating more guardrails.
Her proposal arrives as Oracle’s Project Jupiter in Doña Ana County, and
its setbacks, makes national news. And that’s barely the half of it. Read
on below for more stories.

U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) on Thursday issued a call for a
“pause” on data centers in New Mexico, and released a set of standards she
said such developments should meet before receiving approval. Her
announcement came as Oracle’s stock dropped amid reports it had sent
Project Jupiter’s developer a “force majeure” notice allowing it to delay
payments if the project is delayed.

Protecting tributaries like the Little Badger Wash on his land is part of
the larger stewardship of the Colorado River, Alastair Lee Bitsóí (Diné)

*Commentary: Colorado River stewardship begins in often dry tributaries
like Little Badger Wash*

Amid this week’s monsoon storms and flash flooding, writer and farmer
Alastair Lee Bitsóí pondered the impact the weather had on his family’s
farm on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. In an essay for Source NM’s commentary
section

Bitsóí writes that while the floods caused damage, they also showed “the
possibility of bringing dormant farmland back into food production with
water harvesting methods,” and reinforced how caring for arroyos is part of
the larger work of sovereignty and stewardship of the Colorado River.
