New Law in New Mexico?

Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Tue, 04/03/2007 - 1:24pm.

The New Mexico legislature went into a special session to deal with a number of pending bills; one of the two that emerged from it was a bill to expand the state's public financing program - currently in place for the Public Regulation Commission - to judicial races. Governor Bill Richardson supports the idea, but wants to veto a portion of the bill that would require a ballot initiative amending the state constitution to eliminate retention elections.

 

Richardson has made no secret of his support for public financing, convening an ethics panel last year to lay out proposals that would improve campaign finance laws for the state. In addition to the Public Regulation Committee's public financing program, Albuquerque has a municipal public financing program passed by ballot initiative two years ago. We'll keep you posted on how this judicial bill plays out.

I am very bothered that PCAF chose to applaud the front-runners in the Presidential race for their efforts before lauding Bill Richardson who actually took actionHundreds of links of london jewellery in stock,Free Gift Wrapping,

, the pop and squeak of a cork leaving a wine bottle and the sycophantic chortles of lawmakers vying for Veco's favor.

I am very bothered that PCAF chose to applaud the front-runners in the Presidential race for their efforts before lauding Bill Richardson who actually took action. Remember, Bill Richardson is also a presidential hopeful and probably the best hope of someone taking action at the federal level for campaign finance and responsible and ethical government in general. Instead, PCAF promoted the two Democratic hopefuls who are playing the typical Rock-Star campaign fund-raising game. I am disappointed in PCAF.
