The New Mexico State Ethics Commission voted during its meeting Monday to make a “demand, and if necessary, file a civil action,” against New Chapter New Mexico to enforce the state’s Campaign Reporting Act. New Chapter is a political committee that spent heavily in legislative primary elections. A phone call to the group’s treasure was not returned Monday afternoon. New Mexico In Depth previously reported that New Chapter New Mexico formed in early May, filed reports that it raised $414,000 through May 12, and spent $316,000 before the primary elections in early June. But who funded the group’s political advertising is a mystery.

The sound of metal music and the smell of hot dogs filled the air as skaters, from toddlers all the way to seniors, watched one another during the 18th annual All Nations Skate Jam at Albuquerque’s Los Altos Skatepark earlier this spring. “One of the things that's unique about skateboarding is that even though we're in competition with each other, we also want to see our competition do better,” organizer Todd Harder (Creek) said. For many of the attendees, skating is about practicing wellness and cultivating a strong community.
