"In retrospect, a lot of things look a little funny, they weren't intended to be funny, but sometimes you go back in history and you look at stuff and you go, 'Wow, that doesn't look good.'" Alan Quasha, co-chairman of Carret Asset Management. "The Governor and the Fundraiser: New Mexico's Bill Richardson's link to an alleged bank-loan schemer." (Forbes http://www.forbes.com/global/2009/1214/companie...) Carret Asset Management has a four-year contract with the State Investment Council to manage $200 million of the state's public money, which has so far yielded $1.7 million in fees for Carret.

It was Richardson't plan since taking office, he was going to govern and the legislature was to get out of his way, period! His over-use of Executive Orders during his terms is just one example of this. He has circumvented the Personnel Act to multiply the number of exempt positions, and his administration has neglected to comply with the the Procurement Act. East Coast periodicals refer to New Mexico as one of the most politically corrupt states in the US. We've achieved this status under the Bill Richardson regime!

Why did Gov. Richardson call a special session? Also, the measures that he took did not seem to nearly add up to the deficit. These people have a long way to go to make ends meet.
