Paid lawmakers should be held to a higher standard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The battle earlier this year to successfully wrangle a bill capping awards on malpractice lawsuits through a Senate Judiciary Committee led by a malpractice attorney highlighted the state Legislature's many conflicts of interest. An advisory opinion by the State Ethics Commission tells us there is nothing in the Government Conduct Act to prevent votes taken by legislators who clearly have a personal financial stake in the outcome. It’s just one of many ways in which our Legislature is objectivel
Thoughts on the Trump Administration's "Model City" program (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I had originally intended to write a rebuttal column this week to one penned recently by New Mexico Senate Republicans criticizing city officials in Las Cruces and Albuquerque for not applying for the Trump Administration’s “model city” program.

The New Mexico Office of the Superintendent of Insurance recently announced that premiums will increase by an average of 24.4 percent for residents covered by the state’s BeWell NM plan. “Despite the rate increase
We have one of the few competitive races in nation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New Mexico’s Second Congressional District is one of the 12 most competitive Democratic districts in the nation, according to the Cook Political Report. They list 21 districts as a toss-up heading into November’s midterm election. Those are the districts that are most likely to determine which party has control of the US House. Democrats clearly have the advantage going into the election, with Republicans needing to defend 16 of those seats as opposed to just five in districts now held by Democr
