I remember they were all SO ecstatic because of the oil and gas windfall they had a year or so ago - patting themselves on the back because of the big surplus. These are the same pols who viciously attack fossil fuels when it’s time to campaign.
But unfortunately the voters here are that dumb and never seem to see how important oil and gas is to the NM economy.

That’s because the elderly haven’t been brainwashed and so can’t be counted on to vote for more tax and spend - easier to just get rid of them while keeping their names on the voter rolls.

Maybe here’s my chance to finally own a railroad. I know. It’s just a commuter line, but it should go cheap!

Pay the dumbassed governor $1.00 a year and see how long she keeps the job. Dems usually only take a job that pays more than well or gives them a tremendous amount of dictatorial power, or both.
Grisham - not worth a $1.00 but it worth a try to get rid of her ASAP.

Well, there’s only one answer - asking the “rich” to pay “their fair share” will solve the problem!!!!

New Mexico already receives more than their fair share of federal funds. Half the state population is on some type of welfare sustenance.
Not one more penny. Let them rot.
