Gov. Martinez, Save rail service to New Mexico
Gov. Susanna Martinez:
The Legislature has authorized our State to match the money contributed by Colorado and Kansas to save Northern New Mexico's only commercial rail line, allowing Amtrak to continue service to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, and Raton. Please sign the legislation and allow this vital rail artery to remain open.

Why is this important?
Northern New Mexico and Albuquerque desperately need this vital rail artery. Not only Amtrak service will be lost to this entire area without it, but also any chance of other rail-dependent businesses which could revitalize our area's economy. Two other states have ponyed up to save the line, but the chance will be lost if Gov. Martinez drops the ball and vetos the New Mexico contribution.
