| Rick Little |
Representative Little will join the Tuesday Morning News New Mexico broadcast at 8am to discuss the following allegations made by ProgressNow New Mexico. Capitol Report New Mexico - A liberal blog says a Republican member of the Roundhouse has serious residency issues but Rep. Rick Little (R-Chaparral) tells Capitol Report New Mexico he’s properly listed at an address within his district. On Monday morning, ProgressNow New Mexico reported that property and business records list Rep. Little’s permanent residence as 305 Mesilla View in Dona Ana County but his family residence is a number of miles away at 2301 Nike Air Road. According to the blog post, “While New Mexico law may allow person to register to vote at a location where they have established residency and intend to return, property records show that Little’s commercial property contains no residential structures and is not permitted for residential use.” But in a phone interview Monday (April 2), Little said, “Well, I didn’t want this to get out in a public forum but recently my wife and I got divorced. My residence is 305 Mesilla View. We’re reconciling. She’s on 2301 Nike Air. She’s living there until we get remarried again.” Read More News New Mexico
Chavez Facing Voter Fraud Investigation

| Eleanor Chavez |
Chavez, who has been a New Mexico State Representative since 2009, is seeking the seat vacated by Eric Griego, who is now running for a U.S. congressional seat.
One of her primary challengers, Michael Padilla, was the first to raise the allegations that Chavez’s campaign forged the signatures of constituents to gain the necessary signature requirements for the petition.
The KOB 4 On Your Side team began looking into the claims and found at least five people listed on the petition denied ever knowing, meeting, or signing any petitions for Chavez.
4 On Your Side visited random homes listed on the petition. The homeowners included Michelle Stark, Ryan Stark, Alfred Howell, Victoria Deer, and Joseph Dangelo all who said on camera that they never signed Chavez’s petition. Read full story here: News New Mexico
Noon: Obama: “More Flexibility”--use less, pay more
The comment was made specifically about missile defense. But there are many other “controversial issues” plaguing his presidency about which he is likely to feel that he has “more flexibility” when he no longer has a pending campaign keeping the lid on his actions.
With the election behind him, four more years in the White House would allow President Obama to finish off the American dream—making all of us subjects of the state.
Some might think my claim is too harsh. Yet, looking strictly at energy issues, a third world is where we are headed. It is widely accepted that energy use, wealth and health are connected. The countries with the highest energy consumption are also the countries with the longest life expectancy and wealth: human well-being and material well-being.
When we study the words and actions of both President Obama and his administration, we see that given “more flexibility” our available energy will be greatly curtailed and what we do have will be far more expensive during an Obama second term. “Energy” refers to both liquid fuels for transportation and electricity for residential and industrial use. In both cases, the Administration’s policies favor reduced use and increased cost. Use less, pay more. Because gasoline prices, transportation fuels, are the headline issues, we’ll start there. 
President Obama continues his rant about penalizing the oil companies while promising to “double down on investment in clean energy technologies” such as “wind power, solar power and biofuels.” The biofuel he currently favors is algae: “Believe it or not, we could replace up to 17% of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in America.” The study his quote is based on also notes that it would “take acreage equivalent to the area of South Carolina to generate that much oil. It takes 350 gallons of water for every one gallon of oil you produce” and “meeting that water requirement would take 25% of our irrigation capacity.” Read rest of the column here: News New Mexico
