Unlike New Mexico, Texas Juries Require English Language Skills
The New Mexico State Supreme Court ruled this week that any of its citizens can serve on a jury -- even those who don't speak English. It's a nod to the growing Hispanic population. New Mexico allows its citizens who don't speak English to sit on juries because it's written that way in their state constitution. Texas law is different.Travis County District Clerk Amalia Rodriguez-Mendoza makes it clear, In Texas the law is that they have to be able to understand, read and write the English language. The jury qualifications clearly state you must be able to read and write. Also clearly spelled out as an exemption for jury service is the inability to comprehend or communicate in English.419th District Civil Court Judge Orlinda Naranjo agrees, Everything that is done in Texas and almost every state ... most documents filed with the court are done in English. The proceedings are done in English.Some of the hardest work done by judges and lawyers is selecting the people who will sit in the jury box. So requests from potential jurors seeking exemptions for jury service are taken very seriously. Rodriguez-Mendoza says, The judge will go over all the disqualifications in court, all the exemptions. And if the person feels they're not understanding what's going on, they will have the opportunity to speak to the judge.With that said, jurors who speak other languages are welcome as long as they're also proficient in English. Judge Naranjo says, We understand how important it is to include all of our citizens in our processes and in our legal system and have them serve as jurors.Whatever you do, don't ignore your jury summons. The fine for that could be up to $1,000.By Fred Cantu

New Mexico’s Booming Oil Economy
January 10, 2020 – New Mexico government coffers are flush with money thanks to the continuing oil boom in the Permian Basin in southeast New Mexico. That has expanded possibilities for more spending on education and other priorities by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in the upcoming legislative session. The robust growth is having numerous impacts on southeast New Mexico. As workers flood into the area for high-paying jobs, traffic is testing the capacity of roads, schools are recruiting teachers from abroad to handle the uptick in students and demand for water by oil and gas drilling operations has prompted legal battles. On this week’s episode, NMIF correspondent Megan Kamerick talks with reporters Jens Gould with the Santa Fe New Mexican and Dan McKay of the Albuquerque Journal about the impacts of the oil boom on New Mexico.

Proponents of recreational marijuana eyeing 2019 legislative session
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.— The Santa Fe City Council approved a resolution which urges New Mexico lawmakers to make recreational marijuana legal.
State Rep. Javier Martinez is backing legislation to legalize recreational marijuana in 2019.
Martinez, a Democrat, said November’s “blue wave” could help their chances of getting the law passed.
In 2019, Democrats will control the state House and Senate, along with the governorship.
Despite being an advocate for change, Martinez understands there are concerns about recreational marijuana, from Democrats and Republicans.
“I think that those voices that might have some reservations about it can actually bring a lot to the table,” Martinez said.
Under the proposed bill, the legal age to buy marijuana would be 21 years old. The bill would also focus on protecting medical marijuana patients and set aside tax revenue for drug treatment resources.
People in the medical marijuana industry will be closely watching what happens in Santa Fe in 2019.
Stephanie Waddell, the manager of Ultra Health, a dispensary in Bernalillo, said they have their eyes on the future.
“If rec. does happen, we will be ready for it, Waddell said.

SUMMARY
=======
Santa Fe ( or ; Tewa: Oghá P’o'oge, Navajo: Yootó; Zuni: Ts'u'yala) is the capital and fourth-most populous city of the U.S. state of New Mexico. In addition to being the eponymous seat of Santa Fe County, it has approximately 83,875 inhabitants with a metropolitan area population of approximately 144,170. Due to its geographic location in Northern New Mexico–at the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Rocky Mountains–Santa Fe exhibits an alpine and dry steppe climate with pronounced forestry, various mountain ranges, and large plains, along its city limits. During the winter season, Santa Fe typically experiences large amounts of snowfall and drops in temperature allowing it to maintain New Mexico's third-largest ski resort, Ski Santa Fe, following Angel Fire Resort and Taos Ski Valley. The city's subalpine land elevation is 7,199 feet above sea level, making it the third-highest city in elevation in the United States. It is jointly-eponymous with Santa Fe, Granada, Spain–both cities feature a castle, lion, and the Spanish imperial eagle on their official seals and flags. Spanish culture is celebrated annually in Santa Fe, most notably with Fiestas de Santa Fe and the burning of Zozobra.
The area of Santa Fe has been continuously occupied since 900 BCE, originally inhabited by prehistoric Pueblo and Tanoan hunter-gatherers. Formal settlements spread in the early 1200s, making Santa Fe one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in the Western Hemisphere. Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate led an envoy into the city during the early 17th century as a part of Spain's larger effort to colonize the Americas. New Mexico's first colonial governor, Pedro de Peralta, designated Santa Fe the capital of the Kingdom of New Mexico in 1610, making it the oldest state capital in the United States. The full name of the City of Santa Fe (Spanish: Ciudad de Santa Fe) as founded remains La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís (The Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi). As the capital of the New Spain, Santa Fe de Nuevo México served as the seat of power for the Spanish Empire in North America. It briefly gained independence from 1680 to 1692 after Pueblo peoples intermittently revolted. After Diego de Vargas reconquered the city for New Spain in the late 1690s, it remained under Spanish rule for more than a century. While Spain lost Santa Fe to Mexico in 1810, Mexico suppressed a Texan raid on Santa Fe in 1841 only to lose it to the United States five years later. Santa Fe was designated the capital of the U.S. State of New Mexico in 1912.
As the cultural and economic centre of New Mexico, the city exerts substantial influence in the state's politics, education, entertainment, environment, media, fashion, science, culture, and the arts. The Governor's Mansion, New Mexico Legislature, and Supreme Court of New Mexico are all headquartered in Santa Fe. It is home to the New Mexico Museum of Art, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, and Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, operating the International Folk Art Market and Santa Fe Indian Market during the summers. While it possesses modern infrastructure, the city has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighborhoods and streets. Its landmarks include the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, San Miguel Mission, and Santa Fe Plaza. In addition to numerous parks and woodlands, the Santa Fe National Forest is within its northern city limits. The city has one of the most expensive real estate and rental markets in the country. Known for its art market, Santa Fe has the third-largest art market value in the United States, with nearly 250 art galleries and brokers. The city was designated a UNESCO World Creative City in 2005 for its efforts in cultural preservation.
State Capitol Grounds and Building
State Capitol Grounds and Building,
Santa Fe's history as a capital city dates to 1610, when conquistador Don Pedro de Peralta established it as the capital for the Spanish Kingdom of New Mexico.
The Palace of the Governors, built in 1610, served as Spain's seat of government.
When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, the Mexican government designated Santa Fe as the capital of the Mexican province of Nuevo Mexico, and the Palace continued to serve as the seat of government. In 1846, when the U.S. declared New Mexico an American territory, the Palace became New Mexico's first territorial capitol.
