From NMPolitics.net - Governor Richardson has been in the news a lot in recent weeks on a variety of issues that I have found to be both entertaining and disturbing. First came the revelation that the governor had developed a concern for the plight of New Mexico wildlife, traveling to Alamogordo to address the plight of 80 or so research chimpanzees owned by the federal government and his efforts to keep them in a permanent sanctuary so they could live out their days without being subjected to further research activities. Then the governor announced that he was designating almost $3 million of his dwindling federal stimulus money to purchase land for a wild horse sanctuary. The sanctuary would accommodate 25-30 wild mustangs that are under the care of the Federal Bureau of Land Management at a cost of approximately $96,000 per horse. While concerns for these animals may be well intended and worthwhile, other recent events lead me to believe that the governor’s priorities are misplaced. Read more here:
