Tularosa next competes at the District 4-3A Championships on Friday, May 1st in Dexter.
kudos to the union representative for reminding the assembly that there are many things more important to the citizens of alamogordo than the golf course.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 65 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear overnight.
my question regarding this article: after originally filing as a democrat, then withdrawing from that candidacy, to file a second time as an independent; did this experienced politician not read and understand the rules? this gives every appearance of a desperate attempt to resurrect a campaign that is floundering
Valid point. However, why do the rules become more stringent the further away from the party norm?
makes sense with the 1% requirement across the board.
i have no knowledge of the drafting of those rules, so i cannot answer your question - i am simply puzzled that someone with his political background would not recognize the statutory requirements from the beginning.
Good job! Thankfully they found someplace safe to place the juvenile instead of home with a parent!
Thank you for shining a spotlight on their corruption!
good for you! and a well deserved salute to commissioner warren robinson for having both the ethics, and the fortitude to stand up, and walk out, and plainly state - this is not right.
Chris, I always appreciate your own transparent modeling of how to hold government accountable, and why it's important. I'm curious why this has not been sent to our Attorney General office, since they are the office responsible for enforcing open meeting laws. This happened in Las Cruces awhile back, and AG filed
a useful reminder that although good government is not cheap, bad government always costs more in the long run.
Wow, just wow, Chris, you are a force to be reckoned with for the rights of the people to hold government accountable. Alamorgodo is fortunate to have someone who knows how to take action, and who cares enough to to do. Las Cruces needs this.
Great stuff happening in Otero County! Time for some changes in Santa Fe the same way. The status quo since 2017 has done nothing for the state.
barela complained when senate bill 16 was passed - she was prescient - it would disturb the equilibrium in established party politics. and she was right - it tilted the republican vote out of her control. most excellent; democracy has once again raised it's ugly head....
and do not overlook the fact that republicans voted against senate bill 16 - it was filed by, supported by, and passed by democrats in our legislature - for the non-partisan purpose of protecting our democracy.
a new day may be dawning: a fresh viewpoint on the otero commissioners court - it will be interesting to see how voting patterns are affected there. and we are evidently going to break two glass ceilings - a first time native american woman as
Interesting. Is there a particular boost someone’s race or gender brings to the table during an election? Kinda racist and sexist to imply so.
for your edification: Glass ceiling - Wikipedia
Vote for who you believe in. Not who anyone TELLS you to.
we are learning just how thin the veneer of sensible responsibility has become in our various levels of government - vote your conscience - help build a better tomorrow.
Agree about the importance of this current voting session. As an Independent I did consider it an opportunity not to be missed. I do believe my vote counts in NM, and I always vote my conscience, and I have some hopes for some of the close runoffs.
