7 Days

From Nov. 18

1
Public Regulation Commission will create panel to train employees on ethics.
If you want to serve on the panel, be sure to make a hefty campaign donation to one of the commissioners.

2
Lawyers for PRC Commissioner Jerome Block Jr. and his father want more time to prepare for the election-crimes case against their clients.
As long as it happens before the next election.

3
Gov. Bill Richardson names 40 people to budget task force.
Presumably, they are working for free.

4
Tax force will consider reinstating the food tax in New Mexico.
Guess there’s no food lobbyist on the task force.

5
Gov. Richardson proposes furlough plan that would create four-day holidays for state agencies.
Odd: We thought they already had those.

6
Gov. Richardson proposes plan to eliminate double-dipping for state employees—but only for future employees.
Guess he’s out of friends to hire

7
Former Gov. Bruce King passes away.
And no one will ever fill his cowboy boots.
