Quote:NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – State health officials have announced plans to tightened up restrictions on “big-box” stores listed in the public health order. Starting Thursday, Nov. 19, big box stores and large retailers must make at least one-third of its revenue from essential products like grocery items, auto, and bike repair equipment, and parts. If they don’t, they must no longer allow customers inside.

Big-box stores and large retailers had all been allowed to operate under the latest order that went into effect Monday. Businesses that are not identified as “essential” in the public health order can allow curbside pickup.

In addition to the big-box clarification to the health order, Christmas tree lots can now have curbside pickup and animal grooming locations may not operate.

Yup. NMSU men's team to Phoenix, Women's team to Tucson. Both UNM Men's and Women's teams are headed to West Texas. UNM's football team is already staying in Las Vegas for the last month.

Our Gov. is furious they are leaving.

Quote:Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s Office on Tuesday made clear that relocation is not OK, especially as the state reported Tuesday a record 2,112 new cases. There have been 232 deaths in the past two weeks alone

“Both professional and collegiate matchups and practices (for a variety of sports) are being cancelled left and right because of the out-of-control pandemic,” Lujan Grisham Press Secretary Nora Meyers Sackett told the Journal in response to several emailed questions. “It is clear that what the NCAA and these leagues are trying to do is not necessarily working and you wonder at what point they re-consider the risk and put the country first.”

ha ha She can pound sand

Quote:ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Some small business owners believe larger retailers are getting preferential treatment in the governor's public health order.

“It is wrong. The order is wrong," said Yvonne Swartz, who owns Artemisia in Taos. "And it needs to be changed.”

Swartz, who closed her small clothing boutique on Monday, is frustrated that larger retailers, are allowed to remain open.

"What makes them different than I am? Dillard’s, Macy’s, Bed Bath and Beyond, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kohl’s, Tuesday Morning, Big 5, Burlington Coat Factory, the list goes on," she said.

The governor’s public health order lists “hardware stores, 'big box' stores, and other large retailers” as essential businesses.

“They’re considered essential. Large retailers are considered essential. And I don’t understand what makes them essential over me or any other small business in New Mexico," Swarts said.

KOB 4 took those concerns to the governor's office, which released the following statement:

The reality of the situation is that the public health order has to be written to accommodate the entire state, both rural and urban communities statewide. We have to accommodate for a situation in which there is one clothing store in a town where someone may need to buy a winter coat as it's getting cold, and that store cannot be closed. I understand people's frustrations, but the state can't write a public health order that goes through and identifies every single store. What the state can do is identify baseline principles and convey them to the public and to different industries – for example, all businesses need to be curbside-only to the extent they can do that, no matter their size, no matter what they sell, no matter where they are; and all people need to be at home, except for emergencies, no matter what. If a store can be open, that doesn't mean they should be. The state has needed and still needs partners in this effort to stop New Mexicans from dying by the dozen every single day – it does not need businesses and individuals that look for any opportunity to skirt the spirit and letter of the public health order and enhance the health risk to New Mexicans.

Albuquerque is going to go from being comparable to the size of Louisville, Kentucky to the size of Louisville, Mississippi.
