ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Members of a state panel that oversees wildlife management and sets hunting and fishing regulations across New Mexico have been asked to resign.

The game commission serves at the pleasure of the governor, and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's office confirmed Monday the resignations of the sitting commissioners were requested last week. They have until Wednesday to respond.

Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, took office in January and has been working to install her own appointees on a number of boards and commissions. As for the wildlife board, several dozen candidates are being vetted.

A commission meeting scheduled for this week was postponed, prompting questions from sportsmen groups about the commission's future.

A measure that would have revamped the way the commission is appointed stalled during the recent legislative session.

Well, that is lousy news. It is a shame the Governor cant be replaced by a group of outdoor persons.

Can the gov be recalled? Take a grassroots campain to do it, but might be a good move...or am I dreaming?

Call or email any REPUBLICAN congressmen or senators you have. May be able to put the squeeze on with federal funds and the department of the interior.

She's on a roll and we're only 2 months in. There's been numerous petitions (with thousands of signatures) to remove her but her admin won't even consider it. She is very liberal anti 2nd anti POTUS and was beyond ticked when the full term abortion bill was denied. The majority of her admin and the legislature all have her values and agenda. The scary part is she will probably pick a bunch of anti's to replace the current commission

17-1-2. State game commission; appointment; term.


To carry out the purpose of Chapter 17 NMSA 1978 and all other acts for like purpose, there is created a "state game commission" of seven members, not more than four of whom shall be of the same political party at the time of their appointment. The members of the commission shall be appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate. The term of office for each member of the commission shall be four years. At the time of making the first appointments, the governor shall designate the commissioners' terms as being one, two, three or four years so that the term of no more than two commissioners shall expire each year.


In making appointments to the state game commission, one member shall be appointed from each of the following districts:


A. district one: Curry, De Baca, Roosevelt, Chaves, Lincoln, Otero, Eddy and Lea counties;


B. district two: Catron, Socorro, Grant, Hidalgo, Luna, Sierra and Dona Ana counties;


C. district three: San Juan, McKinley, Cibola, Valencia, Sandoval, Los Alamos and Rio Arriba counties;


D. district four: Santa Fe, Taos, Colfax, Union, Mora, Harding, Quay, San Miguel, Guadalupe and Torrance counties; and


E. district five: Bernalillo county.


The remaining two members shall be appointed at-large. At least one member of the commission shall manage and operate a farm or ranch that contains at least two species of wildlife on that part which is deeded land requiring licensing prior to legal pursuit under the provisions of Section 17-3-2 NMSA 1978. At least one member shall have a demonstrated history of involvement in wildlife and habitat protection issues and whose activities or occupation are not in conflict with wildlife and habitat advocacy. The state game commission as provided in Chapter 17 NMSA 1978 shall have the same authority, powers and duties as now vested in the state game commission by law, and each member of the state game commission shall serve until his successor has been appointed and qualified.

She will dismantle years of hard work in restoring and enhancing our wildlife. The Dems run this state like it is a suburb of California.
