You really know the ABQ Journal is all in with the GOP leaders in New Mexico when they turn an economic development failure into a positive thing. A headline today heralds the fact that Google gave a $1,000,000 clawback to the State after they pulled their newly acquired company out of Moriarty. There was never any question that this had to happen given the incentives that were given to the acquired company to locate in that small town. Did anyone see any questions of the Governor on how she might approach such failures in the future? Did she travel or call Google and ask them to change their decision? Did she just sit on her butt? Yes, most likely she did. But we will never know, because if she did call them they dismissed her and she wouldn't want that known. And if she didn't call them she just looks useless.
And the the Journal conjures up a headline that says, 'were stuck with Railrunner'. It is public transportation and as one friend said the word public has doomed it in the corporate view of the Publisher and Editor. This service was a leap into the future for our state and I certainly am glad we are stuck with it.

but Jim......she did sell the state plane!! what's the problem?? ;-)
Such a 'failure'! When Ms. Useless tried to shut down the weekend schedule, the businesses in Santa Fe went crazy and forced her to pull back.
Can anyone in her entourage spell the word 'infrastructure'? Whatever happened on building for the future?
The Guv and Rail Runner need couples counseling. That train is a high-dollar asset for economic development, and her open-for-business administration wants to piss it away. Not just short-sighted but a betrayal of the taxpayers who are paying for it.
The Governor still rips on thr rail runner because she thinks it plays. She does not recognize how mass transportation is an economic boost to attract business. She did the same thing to the movie industry until she realized this was the only job creator industry during her tenure. Now she likes the movie industry. I concur with others: what a miserable failure she has been to our state.
Martinez would be re-elected today and is more well liked than Heinrich, Udall, Berry and Pearce, and even Hector Balderas. Thank God for term limits! Watch out Martin Heinrich, you just may be a one term-er and the US AND New Mexico will have its first LATINA US SENATOR!
