Governor defends Drunkbuster hotline

New Mexico
State Police and Governor Susana Martinez are defending the Drunkbusters
hotline, after October statistics were released.
Last month, 1,339 calls came
into #DWI. Out of those tips, law enforcement made contact with 90 of the
reported drivers. That resulted in 16 DWI arrests for October from the program.
State Police Lt. Robert McDonald admits the numbers are misleading. He says the
numbers that are important are the arrests made every year from the program. The
governor stressed it's important to get drunk drivers off the streets in any
way possible.
There has also been a recent change for the program. Officers
responding to a tip can now call the person who reported the driver directly to
get more information. There is also an app available for iPhone and Android
smartphones. To find it, search ENDWI in your app marketplace.

Court overturns water rights drought ruling

The New Mexico Supreme Court has overturned a lower court
ruling that limited the ability of the state's top water official to manage
water rights in times of severe drought.
The case centers on a program that was
intended to speed up the determination of industry, agricultural and municipal
water entitlements. The Court of Appeals ruled in 2010 that the Office of the
State Engineer had overstepped its legal authority by adopting the program.
The
Supreme Court overturned that ruling Thursday, saying the state Legislature had
delegated authority to the state engineer to put in place the water
administration regulations.

The heat is on a Los Lunas gun store for moving ahead with a
controversial coyote hunting contest.
Gunhawk Firearms announced last week it
would take over sponsorship of the contest after an Albuquerque
Owner Mark Chavez. Says despite the threats, around 100 teams of 2-people
each have signed up. He also says the vast majority of input from the
local community, especially farmers and ranchers, has been positive.
This week,
an online petition surfaced opposing the hunt. More than 13,000
signatures were collected as of late Thursday night.
Officials considering proposal to ban cell phone use in state vehicles

The proposal is among nearly 50 changes that the
General Services Department is considering implementing for state-owned vehicle
use.
Drivers of state-owned vehicles can now use a hands-free device to talk
while driving. But General Services Secretary Ed Burckle told the Albuquerque
Journal Wednesday that studies suggest a complete ban on cellphone use while
driving would likely decrease the number of accidents.
Other proposed changes
include a complete ban on private use of state vehicles and restrictions on gas
card use.
