This so-called "article" (it's actually more of a campaign pamphlet) certainly makes clear for all to see where Heath's political loyalties lay. Yuck. I feel like I need a shower after reading this thing. Wow, talk about logrolling.

Why is it that Martinez allowed the spouse of one of her DAs to get the office supply contract without bid to the tune of about $50k a year? Don't just accept her platitudes and her story.

Really? Three cases in 13 years, one of which was a personal vendetta, two of which were wastes of taxpayer money? Where is her record of investigating and prosecuting anyone for real estate fraud? For procurement fraud at NMSU? For drug dealing within the local police? For excessive use of tasers by local plice? For starters. She is the "law officer" for Dona Ana County. How much money have the county and city had to pay out in tort and civil rights claims while she was in charge? (Hint -- check out how much the jail, alone, has cost the taxpayers.) And how about someone really investigating hwo she runs her office and what use she makes of the taxpayers' money there? Corruption fighter? Really?

I can't help but notice that support for an ethics commission is missing from Ms Martinez' plan to clean up state government.

Since a number of people, including her opponents, consider this a critical element, I wish Martinez should offer some explanation of her resistance to the idea.
