For what it’s worth, I checked the domain registration. It comes back to Rick Johnson Marketing with a contact name of “Shannon Bell” if that’s any help. I also noticed that the physical address listed is not that of RJM, but appears to be the Jiffy Lube by TEMA. Weird. I also googled the domain name and ended up here, which would certainly seem to confirm the idea originated at the chamber and was then outsourced to a marketing company.
Also, the Albuquerque Journal endorsed Mayor Chavez this morning. That is their right but I find it hard to believe they didn't even mention ABQPAC. I think they are worried the scandal in Santa Fe could somehow stick to Marty's scandal if they were to bring it up. Usually, they will bring up warts like that when endorsing a candidate that had problems.
Just when you wonder what the Journal Editorial Board can be thinking about, the reporters make it all bearable. The story this morning by Leann Holt regarding the family of John Hyde was staggeringly good. It is what good journalism can do for us all. It details the tragedy of the death of two police officers and two motorcycle shop employees from the stand point of the mental illness of the killer. It puts things in perspective and makes some of the comments of the police, and even the religious ministers at their services, seem a little outrageous.
