Seems they forgot to mention Gary left office with a budget surplus that Richardson promptly spent and left the state deep in the red before Martinez.
The only reason Richardson signed CCW for the state is because it was so draconian in structure, qualify for each caliber to be carried,16 hours of class, $250 fee, must meet the stringent requirements of the DPS, which changed at a whim, etc. A law that he knew it would limit the number of people to qualify.
Also, I had him on tape saying he would sign it if it got to his desk. No one else could get him to commit. And he was running for re-election, so he was pandering at a gun show.

Gary was a successful businessman before he was governor. He built a garage run construction business into a multi-million dollar enterprise and built an entire city. So he knows what it takes for business to succeed. He can never get the platform to get his message out.

Dee was the real brains of the outfit, and when she got too old and ill to keep up with Mr. Triathlon - ski, he chucked her for some Santa Fe hardbody.

So could I assume that since Gary Johnson left office with a budget surplus, the increased revenues were due to increased economic activity?

He did not govern like a business man who wanted the people to keep as much of their money as possible

Surplus is another way to say people were over taxed
