A fellow blogger recently <\/p>\n

significantly while not inconveniencing that large number of Republicans who vote by absentee ballot. Voter fraud hasn’t caused as many <\/p>\n

problems as Republican Secretaries of State.<\/p>\n

Yes, Winter is a moderate Republican and I wish there were a thousand more like him <\/p>\n

ABQjournal: Minimum <\/p>\n

Wage Fight Heats Up<\/a>
\nWhat the candidates have to say
\n Do you support the ballot measure that would set a $7.50 <\/p>\n

minimum wage in Albuquerque?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Martin Ch\u00e1vez: “No, I agree with Sens. Domenici and Bingaman that it should be done at <\/p>\n

the federal level.”<\/p>\n

Eric Griego: “Yes, I strongly support a fair wage for a fair day’s work. The best thing we can do to <\/p>\n

fight crime, fight poverty and enhance our economy is to pay a decent wage.”<\/p>\n

David Steele: “Yes.”<\/p>\n

Brad <\/p>\n

Winter: “No. It will create an unlevel playing field and drive jobs to places like Los Lunas or Rio Rancho. It is not the role of local <\/p>\n

politicians and bureaucrats to set wages for private employers.”<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
