The yucca was adopted as the State Flower on March 14, 1927. The yucca is a member of the lily family and a symbol of sturdiness as well as beauty. In the early summer, pale ivory flowers bloom at the tips of its long, fibrous stalks. At the base of the plant are broad, sharpedged leaves that look like stilettos. The yucca sometimes grows to the height of a small tree.

Unfortunately, mega-developers like Verde Group and SunCal are rushing to convert our lands into sprawling subdivisions — and they want us to pay for it.

To stop this land rush, we need to close down the tax sprawl subsidy before New Mexico’s open space and quality of life is damaged beyond repair.
