ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Mexico border town mayor and congressional candidate Martin Resendiz was drunk when he signed nine contracts with a California company that is now suing the city for $1 million, according to a deposition in the case.
"The day I signed, . I had way too much to drink. It was after 5 p.m. and I signed it (the contracts) and I didn't know what I was signing," Sunland Park, NM, Mayor Martin Resendiz wrote in response to questions from lawyers for the architectural design firm Synthesis+. "My sister had to pick me up."

Hmmm... no party affiliation mentioned. Must be a Democrat.
(Yeah, he’s running for Congress, and the incumbent is a Republican.)

Resendiz is no mental giant that’s for sure but he’s a solid Democrat. :)

If I lived in Sunland Park I’d be drunk too!

That’s OK, Mr. Mayor. The guys who sent you the contracts were drunk when they wrote them.
Hick! Hick!

Happened to Spain once...a contract is a contract - had to fight a war to break it.
