Mark Werkmeister, President of the New Mexico Off-Highway Vehicle Alliance (NMOHVA) just sent us an email alert regarding the New Mexico State Legislatures raid on their OHV Fund. The money was included in a bill passed last week, which will take $116 million dollars from various state accounts to help make up the huge New Mexico budget deficit. The bill was part of the larger patchwork of bills that the special legislative session produced and sent to the Governor's desk for signature.

There is still time to do something about this. The Governor has the authority to use a 'line item veto' on the legislation.  That means that is he can cross out bits and pieces of a bill and still sign the rest into law. The Governor has asked the citizens of New Mexico to let him know how they feel about the bills dealing with the deficit that are sitting on his desk. So please read the alert below and take action now!
