Susana Martinez, GOP nominee for governor, said Wednesday July 28th that she will definitely sell New Mexico’s state jet. “The jet will be sold,” Martinez said at a press conference. “No one in state government is above the law. It’s this attitude of being above the law that we need to get rid of in state government.” Martinez seemed to be responding to a report by KRQE television in Albuquerque that her opponent Diane Denish had run up more than $367,000 in costs to the state using the aircraft.
On News New Mexico Tuesday morning Representative Mary Helen Garcia of Dona Ana County called for a "change in the speaker position." It is another sign of the growing rift between speaker Ben Lujan of Santa Fe and other members of his party. Garcia indicated other elected officials in state government were also interested in re-tooling the speaker position which is considered by many observers to be the most powerful position in the state.
