Let’s get work people! - Simon
Thank you, Simon, for providing this page for open discussion about resolutions of condemnation of the executive branch! It is an efficient way for Hopium subscribers to contact one another to share information about our progress and to help one another.
The Bernalillo County Commission's resolution was introduced, debated and passed / approved (by final vote of 4:1 as revised) at a public hearing on June 24, 2025. A two-step process is required, although the approved resolution is final. The resolution that was approved will be finally adopted (read aloud; signed by the Commissioners, County Attorney and County Clerk) at the next meeting on August 4 at 5 pm.Â
In contrast, the Santa Fe County Commission used a one-step hearing process, so the introduction, debate, vote of approval and final adoption were all done at one hearing. The Commissions do not meet during the month of July, delaying the hearing in Doña Ana County until August.
I'm excited for this chat room. I am working in two seperate jurisdictions; Monterey County (MoCo) and Santa Clara County (SCC) which are roughly an hour's drive from one another.. The Santa Clara County resolution is linked here and we reached final draft earlier this week. I live in district 4 and another Hopium member, Bobbie, lives in district 5. We are each approaching our seperate Supervisors to generate interest. If we don't hear back, we can always go to the bi-monthly publc general meetings to present it there. If this link does not work, please let me know. I am new to google docs.
Thanks to John Payne, I used his citations re the AG and added two of my own at the end related to the 2011 SCC resolution of non-cooperation with ICE
