LAS CRUCES – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s first public safety town hall is tonight in Las Cruces, but some members of the public are seemingly unaware of the community discussion.
The town hall was announced by the governor’s office Monday , four days after the hours-long special legislative session called by Lujan Grisham to pass several public safety bills. Instead, legislators passed House Bill 1 providing additional wildfire and flood relief funds to the Ruidoso area. Then they adjourned.
“The town hall in Las Cruces this Thursday is an opportunity to hear directly from New Mexicans grappling with the state’s crime problem and collaborate as a community on effective strategies to enhance public safety statewide,” the governor’s office said.
