Albuquerque – Today, Power The Future Communications Director Larry Behrens released the following statement regarding Governor Lujan Grisham's plans to attend the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow:

"New Mexico is a national leader in unemployment and rising electric bills so it's no surprise Governor Lujan Grisham wants to jet off to Scotland and leave her record behind. Additionally, it is the height of hypocrisy for the Governor to hop on a plane instead of appearing virtually. New Mexicans deserve better than a Governor who depends on fossil fuels to travel and for her budget but then undermines our energy workers at elitist resorts among her friends."
