Governor Martinez is fiddling like Nero again. She is diverting attention from our disastrous economic condition by insisting that we have courts monitored by citizens to make sure good sentences have been handed out and that crooks don't get out on bail. She is asking for the umpteenth time to have a 'crackdown' on drunk drivers. She is demonizing the folks who do your landscaping and replace your roofs so they can't get drivers licenses. And she is aided and abetted by our largest daily propaganda instrument called the Albuquerque Journal. I have written this rant for the umpteenth time too.
There is more talk about using the State Permanent Fund for education. Tapping into this 14 billion dollar savings account might finally be a good idea now that we are really in a rainy day scenario for which it was meant to be used. But beware, because if we tap into that fund there must be some solid language that general fund and other monies going to education are not lessened. Supplanted that is. It would be a way for Governor Martinez and her rightwing mascots in the Legislature to give another tax break to their rich bankrollers.
