New Mexico legislature may impeach public regulation commissioner

House Speaker Ben Luján sent a letter to Democratic and Republican leaders Tuesday outlining plans to form a subcommittee during the special session to investigate allegations against PRC Commissioner Jerome Block, Jr., which would ultimately decide whether to recommend impeachment for the full House. The process of impeachment is just like it is at the federal level: It requires a majority vote in the House and a two-thirds majority in the Senate. Meanwhile, Democrat Brad Gallegos announced his candidacy for Block’s seat on the PRC, bringing the total number of announced Democratic challengers against Block to five.
