It is interesting to note that her email address is a private email address and not a state government email address. This raises the question of the propriety of using a private email address instead of a state government email address for the purpose of conducting the work of the state.

The New Mexico Legislature's use of private email addresses and state government email addresses as seen on the NM Legislature website (http://www.nmlegis.gov/lcs/default.aspx) is shown below:

The majority of legislators in New Mexico seems to favor the use of state government email servers.

NM Totals:
No email address is listed for 7 of 112 NM state legislators.
A private email address is listed for 37 of 112 NM state legislators.
A public email address is listed for 68 of 112 NM state legislators.


Should states generally (New Mexico in this case) regularize state government email usage so that public business is done on public email systems?

It isn't subject to the same oversight as governmental email accounts. You know the repigs are doing all kinds of illegal stuff...
