Ugly excess in New Mexico legislators' push for base salary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Money and logic seldom intersect at the state Capitol. The fall ballot provides the latest example. Households do not serve in the New Mexico Legislature. A total of 112 individuals make the state's laws. So why did legislators craft a constitutional amendment proposing they be paid a base salary tied to the median household income in New Mexico? Why wasn't the formula for legislative salaries linked instead to median per capita income? Self-interest is the obvious answer. A budget analyst at th
Lawyers help House candidate rake in $261K in a month (opens the original)

Anyone who believes political warfare over medical malpractice legislation is finished should pause to follow the money.

University regents don't have to be smart or responsible, only politically connected to one person â the governor. Voters at last have a chance to tip the balance of power toward sanity this fall. A proposed constitutional amendment that would end the governor's power to select just anybody as a regent is on the ballot. The measure finally goes to voters after nine failed attempts in the last

Read excerpt
What's next for the federal government's chief waster of time? Will he set his sights on San Antonio, N.M.? Little San Antone was the hometown of the late hotel tycoon Conrad Hilton. An initiative to rename this speck on the map as Connie's Corner or Hilton Head West should be a national priority in a time of war and runaway prices for gasoline and other necessities.
