Last update: an hour agoFlood Recovery: Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has directed $42.75 million to flood response, bringing state commitments to nearly $55 million as communities await federal reimbursement. Flooding has forced evacuations and rescues in Socorro County, left one person dead and led to sewage spills threatening the San Juan River. More Rain Ahead: Another round of rain is forecast, with flood watches in southeastern New Mexico and saturated soils raising the risk of localized flooding. Methane Rules: The EPA’s proposed rollback of oil-and-gas methane safeguards could also add millions of tons of smog-forming and hazardous pollution by 2050; the proposal is not final. Data Center Debate: Reporting reveals how a state microgrid law helped pave the way for Project Jupiter, while students and tribal leaders protest the project and a permitting bill they say could accelerate data-center and fossil-fuel development. Forest Recovery: Voters will decide on a bond that includes $17.65 million for a state tree nursery, as severe fires and post-fire erosion make forest restoration urgent.
