Martinez Takes the Oath - Begins the Cleanup

Governor Martinez

Santa Fe New Mexican - With temperatures in single digits, Gov. Susana Martinez took the oath of office Saturday on the Plaza, promising to promote job creation, reform public education and decrease government secrecy. In addition to her ceremonial appearances at inaugural events, she also immediately exercised her new authority by halting pending regulations by executive branch agencies under her control to determine whether they hurt businesses in New Mexico. Martinez also directed agencies to review rules and regulations that are in place and determine by the end of the month which ones should be scrapped to improve economic development and job growth. Shortly after taking office, Martinez issued an executive order to suspend pending and proposed regulations for 90 days while they are reviewed by a task force. Read full story here:
