I bet if you got rid of the votes of the
California carpet bagger/Santa Fe crowd it wouldn’t have been close.
“Communism“? Have you been
frozen for 50 years? Congratulations,
asshole,idiot,cheap, misguided bastard—damn, it’s not easy to follow The Way of Fleck.
I still hope Vern Raburn leaves the state (without

Only in New Mexico: City’s Lost Soul by former Mayor Jim
Baca
I think our city has lost its collective soul with the defeat of the minimum wage ballot proposition in the election
yesterday. It appears the Chamber of Commerce has been successful in its effort at denying a ‘leg up’ to all of our most needy workers.
This is after their most affluent members got Bush tax decreases at the expense of those same minimum wage workers. And
so the chamber of commerce has wounded and divided our city and they will need to figure out a way to fix it. Soon. [mjh: Jim, a house
divided is more profitable to them.]
Yes, it was a close vote and nearly half the people voted for it. Nearly isn’t enough when
large amounts of money are used to fund development of lies to be thrown at a public too busy to do fact finding themselves.
I
will now attempt to boycott all Chamber of Commerce members when I make my purchases, whether it be a car or a taco. It won’t mean much
to them I am sure, but it will mean something to me. Maybe, I will do all my major purchases in Santa Fe since their voters passed a much
more generous minimum wage bill.
