Oil and gas industry slighted in New Mexico Governor’s State of the State Speech

 

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham didn’t get high marks from at least one major state newspaper for her State of the State speech delivered last week when she didn’t come to the defense of the oil and gas industry.

The Albuquerque Journal, in an editorial opinion criticized her for giving little mention of the state’s oil and gas industry even as it was being dragged down by President Biden’s executive orders.

The paper took note that she didn’t even mention the oil industry in last year’s State of the State speech then nearly did the same last week.

The paper said she “failed to rise in defense of one of the major job-creating private-sector industries in New Mexico.”
