Bills leave Lottery’s future to chance

New Mexico’s state-run universities’ and colleges’ primary task is educating New Mexicans. Unfortunately, many graduating New Mexico high school seniors have traditionally forgone pursuing higher education because they lack financial resources.

NM could become New Arizona

Gov. Susana Martinez wants New Mexico to look more like Arizona. A new executive order proposed by Martinez mirrors Arizona’s infamous SB 1070, which would have required police to check the immigration status of everyone “suspected” of being in the country illegally. Martinez’ executive order requires immigration-status checks for everyone arrested in New Mexico. The racial implications of both these bills are obvious.

It’s not about me; it’s about the group

There are many things I hate in this world — Axe body spray, zombie spiders, AT&T’s desperate, “Please don’t leave us for Verizon” iPhone campaign — but few I feel as conflicted about as classroom group work. On one hand, group work sucks.

Don’t shoot from the hip

I am not one to judge a hipster by its cover. I don’t assume that you are one, either. But as a society, we’ve begun to profile these fixed-gear bike jockeys, and we’re using our sense of disdain to fuel a reliable stereotype.

Albuquerque is burning for a Jim Rome visit. Please Rome, do it for the “clones” — and more specifically, Mike from Albuquerque. One of Rome’s “clones” (a nickname the radio host gives his listeners and callers), Mike sticks out in listeners’ minds, including mine.

Political drama at the Legislature

Ever since New Mexico Speaker of the House Ben Luján, (D-Nambe) won his primary by a fewer-than-100-vote squeaker last June, there has been much talk about the possibility of losing his leadership position. Shortly after the November general election, a challenger emerged in the form of Joseph Cervantes (D-Las Cruces). With a House divided 37-33 (last session, the split was 45-25), Cervantes needed a coalition made up of the 33 Republicans plus three Democrats, himself included, to win the speaker’s seat. A similar coup d’etat took place 10 years ago in the Senate when Richard Romero (D-Albuquerque) with the help of a coalition of all the Republicans in the chamber plus two Democrats, removed Manny Aragon (D-South Valley) from the President Pro Tempore position. This coalition, however, had different dynamics.
