Before the State Investment Council representative speaks to Indivisible tonight, please read and share this.

The Legislative Finance Committee has confirmed that New Mexico issued more than $265 billion in Industrial Revenue Bonds while providing corporations with up to $5.3 billion in state and local tax benefits—without requiring sufficient reporting to determine whether the promised jobs and public benefits ever materialized.

Common Ground Rising’s analysis exposes the larger system the LFC report leaves unexamined: years of sovereign-wealth allocations, corporate tax abatements, public infrastructure commitments and environmental risks have never been evaluated together.

Projected jobs are counted before approval. Actual results may never be verified. Public revenue disappears from schools and services while the costs remain with taxpayers, ratepayers and communities.

The question for the SIC is urgent: Has New Mexico examined whether its sovereign-wealth investments overlap with the same private funds and industries receiving billions in state subsidies—and what cumulative risk does the public carry?

Public wealth. Private return. Public cost.

The LFC found billions in unmeasured corporate tax benefits. The deeper failure reaches from unverified “jobs” promises to decades of sovereign-wealth investments made without a cumulative public-risk review.

🚨 Breaking: The New Mexico Supreme Court has unanimously granted two separate stays, halting key permits for Project Jupiter. 🚨

This major victory comes as several cities across the country continue to face large scale power outages due to increasingly severe weather, and the total energy monopoly of AI data centers nearby, which are causing devastating grid failures for multiple communities.

We refuse for this to become our reality and we will not back down until Project Jupiter's construction is fully stopped!
