When I saw this report (the link is in this post) in the Albuquerque Journal this morning on New Mexico’s failing economy, it was a confirmation of what I have been preaching and reporting on for years since I moved here in 1995. I was amazed and sadden, it breaks my heart at the amount of corruption and cronyism in New Mexico. I have been in media for almost 40 years, started in 1978 at the Minnesota News Network as a weekend producer and wherever I have worked in radio whether it be Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and News and Views-DeweyIndiana…..I have never seen such corruption in government, leaders being inept, cronyism runs rampant in the state, uneducated people in government including the Legislature, New Mexico needs a full-time Legislature….now here comes more proof………… Albuquerque Journal story here

New Mexico is a very poorly educated state, horrific drop out rates, violent crime and drugs, number one in child poverty in America, highest unemployment in the nation. Pastor Garland Moore of Grants/Milan, NM says, “New Mexico needs to be born again”
