Morning light.

[James Kenney @jckenney]

Proud of our collaboration with @NewMexicoDOJ to hold the @usairforce accountable in State and Federal Court for toxic PFAS contamination. Thank you AG Torrez and Team NMDOJ!

[New Mexico Department of Justice @NewMexicoDOJ]

The @NMEnvDep and #NMDOJ filed a new lawsuit ordering the U.S. Department of the Air Force to clean up its toxic PFAS contamination at Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis.

Love that @Albertsons is partial to 80s Madonna songs. Thank you.

@NASA @sadielicious @chandraxray I see a @hallmarkchannel Christmas movie in the making. I think it's written in the stars.

For Thanksgiving, @NMEnvDep employees shared a thank you video with the @NMLegislature for appropriating the money necessary to fix pay issues that existed for years. I am proud of New Mexico for recognizing that #publicservice matters. https://t.co/1cYViiuKqy #nmpol #nmleg

They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of

When the @NMLegislature invests in the @NMEnvDep - we deliver. 💥 Our return on investment was 18.4%! Penalizing bad actors provides real value to the many good actors who invest in compliance and ensure a healthy environment for future generations. #NMPol

[ECOS @ECOStates]

In FY24, @NMEnvDep brought in $30.2M through enforcement actions and surpassing the department’s $25.5M operating budget. The fines collected aim to hold polluters accountable, improve water systems, reduce emissions, and enhance environmental health. https://t.co/jLGvupVdl9

Thank you @TheJusticeDept and @EPA for helping @NMEnvDep supplement its resources against the deep pockets of @HilcorpEnergyCo. To learn more about this settlement, visit: https://t.co/b2RnamqAS1

[James Kenney @jckenney]

This week, we announced a $9.4 settlement with @HilcorpEnergyCo for alleged violations of federal and state air quality rules. https://t.co/9d59DZpKJz

[James Kenney @jckenney]

Over the past several years, ozone levels in the San Juan Basin have been pushed higher by widespread non-compliance with air quality rules. This can result in federal or state sanctions making all air quality permits more stringent for all industries. https://t.co/eusSsE86Fz

It's #ClimateWeekNYC! Each year, business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds gather to drive the transition, speed up progress, and champion change. Participate here: https://t.co/FjGRqbc7A1

[James Kenney @jckenney]

The @NMEnvDep is offering private PFAS well water testing for residents around @CannonAFB_ as @DeptofDefense continues to litigate vs. remediate. @WhiteHouse @DoD_IG @USGAO @USAFReserve @USAFMedicine @USAFRecruiting

[James Kenney @jckenney]

At some point, the @DeptofDefense will need to understand they are not the fourth branch of government and are accountable to @POTUS and the @WhiteHouse with oversight by Congress. Most importantly, they are accountable and responsible to the people around their bases.

[James Kenney @jckenney]

“So the realities of being on private drinking water around a military base in the United States of America in 2024 is an abomination and a complete failure of the @DeptofDefense to take care of the people who live in their neighborhood,” Kenney said. #toxictruth

@SecretaryBiser @NCDEQ @NCChamber I hope your legislature, business community and residents realizes this is good for public health and your economy. Thank you for your leadership on this difficult but necessary issue.
