Comments on: Martinez quotes liberal Senator’s criticism of Richardson http://newmexicoindependent.com/39658/martinez-quotes-liberal-senators-criticism-of-richardson New Mexico news and politics Fri, 02 Sep 2011 18:15:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ElmerChavez http://newmexicoindependent.com/39658/martinez-quotes-liberal-senators-criticism-of-richardson#comment-21967 ElmerChavez Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:35:36 +0000 http://newmexicoindependent.com/?p=39658#comment-21967 The Senator is merely stating fact, and I applaud him for doing so. The administration has been in complete denial up until now. Remember that the legislative leadership warned the state agencies of the pending crisis, and the administration's response was to have DFA Secretary Miller direct every agency to ignore the legslature's warnings (and keep re-arranging those deck chairs). "Why?" is the more interesting question. Obviously a lame duck with an unknown departure date wants to keep the people happy and friends employed as long as possible. Or maybe it's just a leadership vacuum sucking reality out of the air. Whatvever the cause, it hasn't helped. <br><br>On that point, inquire as to the proposals to fix the budget and I think you'll find that the administration's plans tend to a greater extent than others to defer as much pain and problem to the next governor and future legislatures as possible, and Senators like Ortiz y Pino know that will turn his problem of today into his and his colleagues' (not to mention constituents') bigger problem of tomorrow.
