    |
0010|                           A JOINT MEMORIAL
    |
0011|     URGING THE SUPERINTENDENT OF REGULATION AND LICENSING TO FILL
    |
0012|     THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR OF THE ALCOHOL AND GAMING DIVISION AS
    |
0013|     SOON AS POSSIBLE.
    |
0014|     
    |
0015|          WHEREAS, the position of director of the alcohol and
    |
0016|     gaming division of the regulation and licensing department has
    |
0017|     remained unfilled since May 1996; and
    |
0018|          WHEREAS, the superintendent of regulation and licensing
    |
0019|     has been carrying out the duties of that position in addition
    |
0020|     to her extensive duties as superintendent of the department and
    |
0021|     this may pose too great a burden to manage both positions with
    |
0022|     the attention they deserve; and
    |
0023|          WHEREAS, the superintendent's recent granting of liquor
    |
0024|     licenses in the face of strong local opposition and her recent
    |
0025|     proposals to ease New Mexico's liquor regulations to allow
    |
0001|     minors to work in bars and to permit the dispensing of free
    |
0002|     drinks, two-for-one drink specials and happy hours raise
    |
0003|     questions about whether regulations will continue to be
    |
0004|     effective and in the best interest of New Mexicans; and
    |
0005|          WHEREAS, the administration of the Liquor Control Act by
    |
0006|     the alcohol and gaming division is extremely important in New
    |
0007|     Mexico, which still has among the highest rates in the nation
    |
0008|     for fetal alcohol syndrome, cirrhosis of the liver, alcohol-
    |
0009|     related violence and DWI deaths;
    |
0010|          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
    |
0011|     STATE OF NEW MEXICO that it urge the superintendent of
    |
0012|     regulation and licensing to fill the position of director of
    |
0013|     the alcohol and gaming division as soon as possible and to hire
    |
0014|     the best possible candidate for this important position; and
    |
0015|          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this joint memorial
    |
0016|     be given to the governor and to the superintendent of
    |
0017|     regulation and licensing.
