Democracy for New Mexico
Yesterday, the Obama Administration announced the selection of 14 infrastructure projects around the country that will be expedited through permitting and environmental review processes. The administration says it's an important next step in its efforts to improve the efficiency of federal reviews needed to help job-creating infrastructure projects move as quickly as possible from the drawing board to completion.
One of the 14 selected for expedition is the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project, which will build two water treatment plants and deliver water through approximately 280 miles of pipeline, 24 pumping plants and numerous water regulation and storage facilities bringing a clean and sustainable water supply to the Navajo Nation in northwestern New Mexico. The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation will work to improve coordination between Federal and non-federal entities and to expedite land acquisition through the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Land Management.
Congressman Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico’s Third District applauded the move by the Obama Administration.

Republican-led efforts to sneak wetland filling permissions into Special Session job-creation legislation, but truth be told, when businesses are caught filling wetlands, damming streams, even laying in a road - - intentionally, without permits - - the fiscal consequence is chump change.
Like less than $3,000 a year.
Sounds like a bottom-line best practice, if you ask me.
