Former El Paso Congressman Beto O'Rourke announced that his Presidential campaign raised a record $6.1 million dollars on its first day.  Here is a statement from the campaign:

Beto O’Rourke raised a record-breaking $6,136,763 in online contributions during the first 24 hours of his grassroots campaign for President of the United States. Without a dime from PACs, corporations or special interests, he received contributions from every state and territory in the nation.

“In just 24 hours, Americans across this country came together to prove that it is possible to run a true grassroots campaign for president -- a campaign by all of us for all of us that answers not to the PACs, corporations and special interests but to the people,” said O’Rourke. 

  ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico attorney general's office has launched an investigation into a nonprofit organization that helps people with disabilities find work.

Attorney General Hector Balderas said Monday his office is looking into allegations that Adelante Development Center was grossly under paying employees.

Balderas' announcement follows a lawsuit filed Friday against Adelante. In the complaint, Disability Rights New Mexico alleges violations of state and municipal minimum wage laws.

  LAS VEGAS (AP) — Grand Canyon coach Dan Majerle said his Antelopes ran out of gas.

New Mexico State junior Trevelin Queen said the Aggies were all gas and no brakes.

Queen fueled the Aggies' offense by scoring 27 points to lead New Mexico State past Grand Canyon 89-57 on Saturday night for its third straight Western Athletic Conference Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament berth.

“Shortcut Construction” was on full view to a crowd of about 70 members of different agencies like Las Cruces Utilities (LCU), the City of Columbus Emergency Medical Technicians, and the Anthony Water Sanitation District. However, Shortcut Construction workers don’t honor gas regulations and don’t follow the model of good gas operations…and in short order, there was an accident.

At the beginning of March, two co-generators started up at the Jacob Hands Wastewater Treatment Facility (JHWWTF). John Mrozek, Las Cruces Utilities (LCU) Wastewater administrator, reports: “We have used all the methane gas, which is produced as a part of the wastewater treatment process, as a fuel to produce our own electricity and power the facility. This dramatically reduces our electric bills.”

  LAS VEGAS (AP) — Gia Pack scored seven of her 22 points to the second overtime to lead New Mexico State to a 76-73 double-overtime victory over Texas Rio Grande Valley in the Western Athletic Conference tournament championship and earn a berth in the NCAA Women's Tournament.

It was the first time the WAC women's championship game went into overtime.

The Aggies make their fifth straight postseason appearance, and return to the NCAA Tournament after playing in the WNIT last season. It marks their fourth WAC tournament title in five seasons.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) New Mexico House Republicans say the Democratic-controlled state Legislature has "overreached" on gun control, taxes and spending and they expect voters to respond.

GOP House Minority Leader Rep. James Townsend told reporters after the session ended Saturday that Democrats pushed through measures that didn't represent the values on New Mexico and put the state in a dangerous financial position.

  SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The Democratic New Mexico Legislature sent a $7 billion spending plan to an allied governor that hikes spending on low-income students, teacher pay and infrastructure as the annual legislative session came to a close Saturday.

In the final minutes, lawmakers approved a bill over Republican objections that would raise some taxes, while offering a larger family tax credit.
