😭😭 New Mexico now has its own WATRgate with Secretary Kenney covering up what Gov. MLG did.

Newly disclosed emails reveal what advocates have long suspected:

The Governor’s Office is actively directing the supposedly ā€œindependentā€ Commissioners who were appointed to the Water Quality Control Commission on how to handle the unscientific produced water reuse and discharge petition proposed by the ā€œWater Access Treatment & Reuse Allianceā€ (WATR), a front group composed of oil and gas and waste treatment companies.

@newenergyeconomynm will be filling a Motion to Disqualify and

Motion to Dismiss WATR’s Produced Water Reuse & Discharge Petition until scientific evidence demonstrates conclusivley that reuse and discharge of produced water are safe for public health and the environment.

Interview with Secretary Kenney by Reporter Jerry Redfern for Capital and Main News, aired on PBS.
