To keep pushing this issue forward though, your help is needed. If you haven’t contacted Governor Martinez’s office about adding this bill to her call list for the 2012 session, please do so today. Contacting your NM Senator and Representative is the next step. These contacts are vital to educate our elected officials about the importance of this legislation. A huge Thanks to those of you who have already contacted your elected officials.
As obvious as the problem seems to us, others have no idea. Bike ABQ is making good progress so lets help them keep it up.
