New Mexico

State revenues from oil and gas production in New Mexico set a new record last year at more than $3 billion, helping to fund investments in education, public services, and infrastructure throughout the state.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis told the state’s oil and gas community he doesn’t expect any more major legislation or statewide ballot measures in the foreseeable future, crediting his work in implementing what he refers to as the most aggressive regulatory overhaul in the state in the past 60 years. But Polis also went to great length to disassociate any potential economic fallout from his legislative accomplishments this year.
