What a savings that would be annnnd more cops doing what they were hired to do. Just a thought, Eden will probably hire more PIO's and reduce the four hundred street cops even more. Even without the press there to ask questions Eden looks like he's gonna cry at any minute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-10870577100885271912015-04-14T18:14:14.253-06:002015-04-14T18:14:14.253-06:00That is an interesting piece. One interesting, and...That is an interesting piece. One interesting, and hopeful thing about it, is that young people are using public transportation more.<br /><br />Bus ridership though isn't a constituency. It overlaps several others and there's no political cost to screwing bus riders. On the other hand, to put money into pubic transportation means paying a cost. You hope people get your vision, but most don't. It has to be left to history to judge you.<br /><br />Speaking of the governor, she signed that forfeiture bill that prevents cops from taking your property just because they want it. She and her husband are from law enforcement backgrounds and in her signing statement on her web site she whines a little about signing it, and stresses that she ain't agin' the law enforcement.<br /><br />But then you read elsewhere that those forfeiture laws are a big thing right now with the Tea Party. They hate them and are getting them repealed where they can.<br /><br />In other words, the governor was saying to New Mexico law enforcement, screw you, this helps me.<br /><br />Which is the guiding principal of her tenure. While New Mexicans stand in the quicksand of an economy that some, the IMF for example, think is already back in recession, she's jetting around hobnobbing with big money donors, running with all her might for the vice presidency, and looking to the Tea Party for direction on how to govern her state.
