The Senate is taking up the bill to give the governor and other statewide elected officials each a raise of nearly $60,000. #nmleg
Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto has introduced an amendment that, as I understand it, would include the lieutenant governor in the pay increases.
The Senate approves Ivey-Soto's amendment.
Lawmakers are debating when the proposed pay increases should take effect.
"My understanding is that the governor will sign this," says Sen. Katy Duhigg, D-Albuquerque.
Long story short, the Senate is rolling the bill over to tomorrow. Sorry I wasn't live tweeting but deadlines are a real thing.

The Senate is taking up New Mexico's proposed spending plan. Committee Chairman Sen. George Munoz, D-Gallup, says, "I believe that you will agree with me, this year's budget was done right."

We'll see if he's right. #nmleg
"I just want to highlight a couple of things," says Sen. Bill Sharer, R-Farmington. "First of all, it started out as a $9.4 billion budget, which was 12% higher than last year's, but then we turned it into a $9.56 billion budget, which is now 14%, increase." #nmleg
Sharer notes the transfer to the Severance Tax Permanent Fund has been slashed. Background here: santafenewmexican.com/news/local_new…

Sen. @Craig4NM shed some light on what happened this morning in the Senate Tax, Business and Transportation Committee with the doctors. #nmleg
"Apparently there's some rumors going around about that ... so I think it's time to nip some of these rumors in the bud," he said.
After the committee got through its first bill, @Craig4NM said he asked for a moment of personal privilege. "I made a statement introducing our doctors and thanking them and talking about" medical malpractice.

Back to business — and what may turn into a big debate. The Senate is considering another abortion and gender-affirming health care bill. #nmleg
“Under this bill, if you seek or provide reproductive or gender-affirming care in New Mexico, regardless of where you come from, New Mexico will do everything in its power to protect you and protect your information from the reach of other states,” said @Sen_MimiStewart. #nmleg
A FIR says SB 13 "would protect providers of reproductive care or gender-affirming care from civil or criminal liability and discrimination by the licensing boards of their specialties and by other states where activities protected in NM are not protected." #nmleg

I should be working on my weekend story, but I got wrapped up with a phone call from a man who was very upset about Sunday's homily at St. Anne Parish in Santa Fe.
"I went to Mass at 11 o’clock," explained the parishioner, who asked not to be identified.
"People go for a lot of different reasons," he said. "Well, I go there, you know, to be uplifted spiritually and I go have this private conversation with God and I ask for the courage and the strength to be a better person and to be good to my neighbors."
