THERE'S A PROPANE SHORTAGE IN THE SOUTHWEST. IT'S SAID TO BE CAUSED BY THE RECENT FREEZING TEMPERATURES THAT SUBSEQUENTLY TRIGGERED A SPIKE IN DEMAND. THE SHORTAGE HAS PROMPTED GOVERNOR MARTINEZ TO DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN NEW MEXICO.

 

GOVERNOR MARTINEZ'S EXECUTIVE ORDER IS DESIGNED TO EXPEDITE PROPANE DELIVERIES STATEWIDE BY SUSPENDING THE RULES THAT LIMIT HOW MANY HOURS PROPANE DRIVERS CAN DRIVE.
