So in April, Mr. Duckett went to his office in City Hall to write new orders for his town. They amounted to no less than an existential plea, warning of crime, hunger, violence and homelessness if the lockdown continued. Though his role is nonpartisan, he said he votes Republican — and in that moment in April he laid responsibility for what came next with New Mexico’s Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham. “An economic disaster has been created,” Mr. Duckett, 42, said in a broadcast. Past proclamations by Farmington mayors had regulated fireworks and denoted an American Legion Day. The April proclamation declared an economic emergency and asked for a partial reopening of all shuttered businesses.
And the scumedia, rat politicians and their zombie army applaud with delight
Be interesting to know if Mayor Duckett and his fellow government “workers” in Farmington are continuing to collect paychecks during the lockdown that is causing this death spiral.
“For a City Already in a ‘Death Spiral,’ What’s After Lockdown?”

Glenn Beck has observed that this may be the death knell for New York city,because many businesses may have found teleworking too attractive to want to go back and pay exhorbitant rents.

The Democrat Governors and Mayors are following the Venezuela model. The want to drive out the middle class and entrepreneurs leaving only the wealthy, the privileged, the working poor, and the very poor. That will permanently cement their lock on power.
So the NY Slimes has to go all the way to NM for a story? I guess they don’t want to cover the one in their own s**thole city and s**thole state.
Abandonment, Ghost Town, Burial. Stuff like that.
People that are dissatisfied right now are the productive people, they should all move out and let the place burn down behind them. They should move some place where they can be pursue happiness which is their right.
Was visiting Durango awhile back and decided to see Farmington.
Place was like a high desert town not worth seeing.
Went to a store that sold gas, guns, produce and booze.
What else could anyone need?
I used to live in Farmington. It was always a booming economy when I was there. After I left, I went back in 1985 and saw caravans of cars leaving the area. I know it was then in a “Bust” cycle. It looked good in 2013 and 2015.
