I just can’t stop wondering why in these times of everyone being asked to cut back on their budgets that I have not seen one politician (like our well feed gov. or Lt Gov.) step up and take a 3.2 percent paycut . I guess the only people who have to pay higher taxes and lower pay is the working people of New Mexico. What a shame! Maybe one of these days we will get a gov. that is really one of us.

Thanks John…I have not seen any word of this in the Journal…and I agree that they probably should have at least mentioned it. We linked to this story on Clearly’s Facebook site earlier this week: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/apr/14/arizona-tough-immigration-laws.

Perhaps I missed it, but I wonder why the Journal has not called attention to the bills nearing final approval in the Arizona legislature that would allow local law officers to seek out and detain undocumented immigrants. As I understand it, the bills (two slightly different, but equally disturbing versions have passed the House and Senate, respectively). At least one of the bills also would ban solicitation of day labor. We have our flaws in New Mexico, but at least we can say we are not Arizona. I can think of no reason why the Journal deliberately would suppress this story. I’m just curious. And, as I say, I might have missed it. The bills were given impetus by the recent murder of a rancher along the Arizona-Mexico-New Mexico border, a story the Journal has covered in some detail.

Thank you Tracy, Arthur, and Denise. I have only recently discovered your blog, and now read it every day. You are a relief to the daily aggravation I experience reading that horrible, biased, misogynistic newspaper.
