There is one gross mistatement by Mr. Mechenbier in the story. He says when I was Director of the Bureau of Land Managment that I raised grazing fees. That never happened. I was attempting to enact rangeland reform measures aimed at stopping overgrazing and protecting watersheds and riparian areas. When Secretary Babbitt pulled the rug out from under us us on this effort I resigned as BLM Director.
I will say the Mr. Mechenbier's company, Sundance Construction, did a great job on the heating and cooling system on our house. We had a hotwater baseboard system installed when we built the house. We have had no problems with it.
This story only reinforces the need to make the Land Commissioners campaigns publicly financed. My opponent has now raised close to $700,000 from those who do business with the Land Office.
Common sense often makes good law.

That story about Pat Lyons is now in every paper in NM and on the radio for the last tow or three days--Is what he did really that bad?
It is not bad at all if you don't think that there should be ethical behavior by professionals in public service and judging from things in Washington and now it seems NM some people don't.
