Rio Grande Sun - Commentary by RGS Publisher R. Braiden Trapp - Those of us looking for some substance in the November governor’s race are truly frustrated.

He lost to Jerome Block, who’s still under indictment for fraud and at last report hadn’t found the bathroom in the PERA building, much less done anything of note.
