Las Cruces Sun-News - LAS CRUCES - New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said Friday that she expected to fill the two vacancies on the 3rd Judicial District bench next week. In a wide-ranging discussion with the Sun-News editorial board, her first since taking over as governor, Martinez also explained her decision to remove the spaceport executive director and board, said she would oppose efforts by the Jemez Pueblo to build a casino in Anthony and discussed her budding relationship with the New Mexico Legislature, two weeks into her first session. Martinez said Friday that she would conduct interviews on Saturday with the six candidates vying to replace judges Jerald Valentine and Stephen Bridgforth, and would likely make her decision next week.
