On NM local news last night, NMG&F will be changing it's name ,fees and how commisioners are selected. NM Wildlife Dept?
 
I get concerned when the Legislature gets into the budget mix, and G&F names turn into Wildlife Depts.
States where this has been done have tuned into anti hunt fish depts. Or run by the Legislature/budget.
CA, MT ,CO.
Granted the NM commish has been in the Guv pocket. The budget is my worry.
 
Any mention of the financial cost for the rename? That’s a lot of uniforms, badges, logos, buildings, etc that will need a rebrand. Betting all the money from that would come from license dollars that could be far better spent
 
It seems to match a lot of other commissions in terms of staggering them & not giving an incoming governor carte Blanche to restructure a commission & helps transfer institutional knowledge to new commissioners from old.

$3.3 million for habitat and non-game is small potatoes but it's needed. Especially if there is no revenue increase & 29 becomes a desperate revenue situation.

A healthy skepticism is always warranted but this doesn't seem too bad on its face. Certainly wouldn't result in a change to benefit the anti's and NM is just "enchanted" enough to withstand that draw to the left.
