Albuquerque – Today, the New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department proudly announced the creation of a new government agency, the “Climate Policy Bureau.” This new agency will apparently be in addition to the “Climate Change Bureau” at the state Environment Department and the “Climate Change Task Force” formed in by Governor Lujan Grisham in 2019. The Lujan Grisham administration has yet to disclose how much this new agency will cost, or the salaries of the employees.

“The only massive job growth from the green agenda in New Mexico are those funded by the taxpayers,” said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. “Sadly, the only climate impacted by hiring more bureaucrats is the spending climate in Santa Fe. While New Mexico’s families are paying more for gas and groceries, the Lujan Grisham Administration celebrates the growth of government on the backs of taxpayers.”
