And the hits just keep on coming …. an ethics bill that doesn't support ethics while violating the constitution – and the fools passed it instead of getting us a balanced budget! Why do your job and constitutional duty when you can diddle around the spitoon swapping stories and passing significant legislation like declaring Pluto to be a planet and reminding us that NM is the 47th state. While we may be the 47th – we remain LAST in educational acheivement in science and math. And we pour more money down that particular rat hole … HELLO? It is the BUDGET, stupid! This was a failure of leadership – plain and simple … the governor was fiddling – the house of NM is buring and it'll be January 1st of next year before a fireman shows up with more than a box of whine (or wine) to fight it. Absolutely embarassing. Dump Lujan, and that guy Rodifer – who thinks the house did its job!

The Kansas Attorney general ruled last year this would be a violation of the 1st amendment:

“Free Speech” May Cost Kansas Citizen $7500

I think the all “talk ethics.” Both Republicans and Democrats, but they do not REALLY want something/someone who has the authority to make them “stand accountable.” It is all smoke and mirrors on this issue. I really wonder why?
