Oil & gas drilling in Otero Mesa
I will push the Bureau of Land Management to resolve the issues holding back drilling and exploration on Otero Mesa. I will insist that environmental standards are adhered to so to minimize the impact on local ranchers and the environment. The bottom
line is that further oil and gas production in New Mexico will provide jobs and much needed tax revenue for our schools. Oil and gas revenues are taxed between 10% and 25% - providing millions of dollars in money that goes to our schools.
