Rio Grande Foundation Launches New, User-friendly Legislative Tracking Tool The Rio Grande Foundation has launched a new online tool for New Mexicans wanting to better follow how legislation moves through their Legislature. This site, called “New Mexico Votes” which can be found online at www.newmexicovotes.org will be available and free to the public for the first time during the Legislature’s upcoming special session. The site will provide bill information in plain English and includes a whole host of features that those who want to track what happens in Santa Fe will find useful. The results of floor votes will be listed in near real-time and will allow users to put information in a more usable format than does the Legislature’s website. Lastly, users of the site will be able to interact with each other, commenting on legislation as it moves during the session....
