20 cheese factory employees injured after industrial accident
More than a dozen workers at a cheese factory near Clovis had to be taken to a hospital Monday morning after an industrial accident.
CLOVIS, N.M. – More than a dozen workers at a cheese factory near Clovis had to be taken to a hospital Monday morning after an industrial accident.
The Curry County Sheriff’s Office says over eight gallons of acid got mixed with chlorine, causing a toxic gas.
20 employees were reportedly injured. 14 had to be taken to hospitals in Clovis and Portales.
The Clovis Fire Department and New Mexico State Police are working on cleaning up the site. The cause of the leak is still being investigated.
Deputies say the leak was contained, and the public is not in any danger.
The governor sets the agenda for the session, including for the budget, so here is what they are looking at so far.
SANTA FE, N.M. — As the regular session of the New Mexico Legislature is set to begin Jan. 20, lawmakers have already filed dozens of bills.
Bills include prohibiting book bans at public libraries and protections against AI, specifically the distribution of sensitive and “Deepfake” images
Juvenile justice reform is, again, a hot topic. House Bill 25 would allow access to someone’s juvenile records during a background check if they’re trying to buy a gun.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham sets the agenda and puts forth the proposed budget lawmakers will address during the session. The governor is calling for lawmakers to take up an $11.3 billion budget for the 2027 fiscal year, which is up 4.6% from current spending levels.
Where would that money go? More than $600 million would go to universal free child care. Meanwhile, more than $200 million would go to health care and to protect against federal funding cuts.
There is also $65 million for statewide affordable housing initiatives and $19 million for public safety.
