  1. NMC does not have a legislative consultant like PSS and NMTI. Before you even meet with the legislature a decision was already made. Decisions are made behind closed doors….before you even started speaking.

    First and foremost respect the students and your employees. They are connected and they will let the legislature, governor, lt. governor, pss and NMTI know of what is going on.
