This should not happen

January 27, 2020

I went to lunch the other day with two twenty year old university students.

They are bright, articulate and hard working.

Both went to high school here in El Paso.

I was surprised to learn that neither was aware that we had a state legislature.  I had to explain that their are state senators and national senators.  The title “congressman” was confusing to them.  They did not know the difference between a senator and a representative.

Our education system failed here.

We deserve better

Is it impossible for the government to give money back?

January 26, 2020

I heard on the radio the other day that the state of New Mexico has a budget surplus of $800 million this year.

I then heard about some ideas about how to spend part of it like free tuition to the state universities and more money for early childhood education.

What I did not hear anything about is a decrease in their state income tax.
