Climate conference scientist: some colleagues “endorse Al Gore though they know he exaggerates
From Capitol Report New Mexico.com - The science is settled!” environmentalists shout. “Global warming is a sham!” their opponents scream back. So what do the climate scientists really say? Earlier this month, in an attempt to get some answers, I attended the conference on Global and Regional Climate Change in Santa Fe in which many of the top climate scientists in the world met to talk about climatology and global warming. After talking to scientists and listening to their sometimes arcane presentations that often went over the heads of the unititiated, I reached some conclusions after the 5-day conference. Read more
Santa Fe city judge asking for 18 percent pay raise
From the Santa Fe New Mexican.com - Santa Fe Municipal Judge Ann Yalman wants a raise. Yalman appeared before the city Finance Committee on Monday night to ask for an 18 percent salary bump for the person who will hold the municipal judge post after the next election. Since Yalman, 63, was the only candidate to turn in signatures last week to put her name on the March 6 ballot, it's likely that person will be she. But the city Finance Committee voted against the increase, and the proposal is headed to the full City Council with no recommendation from the councilors that monitor the city's purse strings. Yalman said Monday that once someone is elected to a term, the council can't change the pay scale. The window to make that change is now, she said. She proposed that the city hike the pay for judge from the current $85,000 annual salary to $101,000, payable from the city's general fund. Read more

Pearce: Obamacare is Unconstitutional

| Steve Pearce |
Washington, DC (November 14, 2011) Today, Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to consider whether or not the Obama Administration’s healthcare law is constitutional: “The previous Congress, led by Democrats, overstepped its constitutional boundaries in passing the Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act,” said Pearce. “President Obama’s healthcare law forces the American people to buy healthcare and gives significantly more power to government bureaucrats. Washington is already taking too much from hardworking American businesses and families without the two dozen new or higher taxes the healthcare law imposes. The current Republican-led House of Representatives fulfilled our promise to Americans to repeal this law, but it was not considered by the Democrat-controlled Senate. For too long, party politics have overruled what is good for the American public. By taking up this case, we can hope that the Supreme Court will thoroughly review the implications of the Obama Administration’s healthcare policies and find them to be unconstitutional. We must protect our businesses, our communities, and our families by ensuring that the quality and affordability of healthcare is not impeded by governmental red tape,” Pearce continued. “Washington must stop taking actions that make the lives of Americans more difficult and start delivering on promises to return America to the land where success is rewarded and opportunities are unlimited. It is time to start taking steps toward healthier families, a healthier society, and a healthier economy.” The Patient Accountability and Affordable Care Act requires all Americans to purchase health insurance. Today, the Supreme Court has agreed to make a ruling on the constitutionality of the law.
