Group wants land in NM set aside for Jaguars
.jpg)
An environmental group is pressing federal officials to set aside millions of acres in Arizona and New Mexico for jaguars.
Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity recently told the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that jaguars need more than the 1,300 square miles the agency proposed in August. Robinson says a jaguar reintroduction program, similar to the one for Mexican gray wolves, also is needed.
New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association executive director Caren Cowan called the idea “ridiculous” and said there is no need to add land restrictions for an animal that can’t survive in the region.
The endangered jaguar, the largest cat native to the Western hemisphere, was thought to have been eliminated in the U.S. by 1990 until two were spotted in 1996 in southern Arizona.
Doctors, Soldiers, Paycheck Signers
Commentary by Jim Spence - American voters are most concerned with three key issues: national security, health care, and the economy. These three issues create an interesting dynamic for the presidential election. It is worthwhile to take a brief look at the views of people who work in the military, provide health care, and compete in the business community. Their inclinations might prove instructive to those who don’t work in those areas, but are very concerned about the policies affecting them.
In poll after poll Mitt Romney captures nearly two out of every three military ballots. Despite all of the credit Obama takes for killing of Osama bin Laden, those serving in uniform overwhelmingly reject the idea of risking a second term for Barrack Obama.
The professionals Americans rely on most when they are injured or ill are their doctors. Recently a poll showed Mitt Romney leading Obama by twenty points amongst physicians.
These facts raise an interesting question. What are the priorities of those who are still willing to give Obama another four years?

It should come as no surprise that Obama’s support in the business community may well be even worse than it is amongst doctors and people serving in the military. While his efforts on healthcare and national security have failed to convince doctors and members of the military that he understands how to make things better, Obama doesn’t seem to even try to build a bridge with the business community. Instead he openly scoffs at the contributions of people who sign paychecks on the front. Grabbing credit for the success of risk taking businesspeople has made Obama perhaps the most reviled president in American history within the business community. Only the crony recipients of preferential grants and loan guarantee handouts from the government, particularly Obama contributors within the alternative energy segment, poll well for the White House.
The reality of the voting views of doctors, soldiers, and business people is simply remarkable. Within the segments of the electorate that provide national security, treat those who are injured and sick, and sign paychecks there is overwhelming support for a Romney victory.These facts raise an interesting question. What are the priorities of those who are still willing to give Obama another four years?

DOT to spend $20 million on NM roads
.jpg)
The Department of Transportation says $20 million will be
spent on repairing New Mexico
The
state Transportation Commission approved the use of the money from the
department's fund balances. Transportation Secretary Alvin Dominguez says the
agency plans to spend the money quickly to protect highways and bridges from
potential damage by winter weather.
Earlier this year, Gov. Susana Martinez
vetoed highway maintenance legislation. The governor said the proposal was
flawed because it allocated $20 million from the state road fund for
maintenance projects but offset that with just $12 million from a transfer of
tax revenue from car and truck sales. The governor said cuts in other transportation
expenses would have been necessary to make up the difference.
Battle between ABQ Health and Lovelace gets ugly
.jpg)
The parting of ways is getting ugly between ABQ Health Partners
and Lovelace Insurance after ABQ Health Partners announced it will soon stop
accepting Lovelace Insurance.
Lovelace Insurance filed a lawsuit against ABQ
Health Partners, claiming doctors are pressuring patients in their health
insurance decisions. ABQ Health Partners said it is giving patients fliers
stating which insurance policies they accept.
According to ABQ Health Partners,
patients can switch insurance to stay with their doctors by calling Medicare,
Medicaid or talking to their employers' human resources director.

Controversial coyote shooting contest cancelled
.jpg)
A popular Albuquerque
Calibers said after a
week of nasty Facebook comments, emails and phone calls, it decided the contest
wasn't the right fit for the company's image.
Earlier this week a contest was
announced which would've rewarded the hunter who killed the most coyotes with
two AR-15 semi-automatic firearms. The hunt was to have strict guidelines and
was requested by farmers and ranchers across the state.
But animal lovers quickly pounced on the idea, calling it inhumane and in bad
taste.
