Revealing a trend among New Mexico's counties, the Roosevelt County Commission officially adopted a resolution Tuesday, calling upon the New Mexico Legislature to petition for a convention of the states under Article V of the US Constitution.   Roosevelt County became the fifth to adopt such a resolution, joining Hidalgo, Colfax, Otero, and Catron.Â
Several counties are considering similar actions to urge the New Mexico Legislature to call for a national amendments convention under Article V to consider fiscal restraint, federal overreach, and term limits, all of which congress refuses to address.

SANTA FE – In New Mexico, July usually marks the beginning of monsoon season, and with monsoons comes lightning, but not always rain. As Fourth of July approaches, remember fireworks are always illegal on National Forest Lands and in national parks no matter what day of the year. Let's work together to prevent unwanted human-caused fires for the month of July! Â
The Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department's Forestry Division is working with local, state, federal, and Tribal partners and non-governmental organizations to provide monthly wildfire preparedness tips and information.

State-funded, disaster-related debris removal program for private property
Santa Fe, N.M.The State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) is now offering full-service debris removal, at no cost to private property owners. The program can be provided through either full debris service from a home property, or curbside pickup for residents who move their debris to the curb.
Any resident who was impacted by the South Fork fire, Salt fire, or flooding in Lincoln County is eligible for this program. If residents receive funding from their insurance companies for debris removal, they will be required to notify the state. Insurance coverage does not disqualify a property from the program, but a portion of the insurance payment may need to be submitted to the State.
