GRANT COUNTY — This week Senator Siah Correa Hemphill introduced SB 111 on behalf of GRIP (Gila Resources Information Project) which, if enacted, would establish the most extreme water restrictions and regulations on miners, farmers, ranchers and private property owners.

Mining and agriculture play a vital role in Grant County's economy, providing much-needed jobs and contributing to the overall growth and prosperity of the region. By introducing this bill, Correa Hemphill is showing a callous disregard for the economic well-being of her own community.

"It is deeply disappointing to see Senator Correa Hemphill prioritize the interests of outside influences over the well-being and livelihoods of her own constituents. It raises serious questions about her commitment to representing the people who elected her into office. Instead of abandoning our miners, ag community and residents, I will fight to end the Santa Fe overregulation that kills jobs and stifles economic development." said Gabriel Ramos, candidate for NM Senate District 28.
