Inside the Capitol - SANTA FE – Finally, we have some encouraging words from Gov. Susana Martinez about Spaceport America. The words came during her first visit to the site for dedication of Virgin Galactic's terminal building and hanger. Earlier, Gov. Martinez skipped ceremonies dedicating the 10,000-foot runway. And in January, she had some very discouraging words for the Legislature about the spaceport's finances and the necessity of private industry picking up further costs. But she was all smiles when posing for pictures with Virgin Galactic owner Sir Richard Branson. Her positive comments didn't get much coverage but Albuquerque Journal reporter Rene Romo interviewed her later. Read full column here: News New Mexico

Lets see, the tax dollars are coming primarily from NM working class citizens. Over a period of 25 yrs at $0K/yr a working class citizen will earn just $1M. But we take minimally $500m out of their pockets to spend on a game for rich people.
We could hire in the range of 400-450 NM citizens for $40k/yr and employ them for nearly 25 yrs each for the same monies.
And that doesn't account for the monies that are supposedly coming in from else where.
So the PEOPLE of NM are benefiting how?
Are the people going to get a "free ride" for working to support this rich man's game?
And just how many of the possibly 500 new jobs created by the spaceport will be available to NM citizens? How many NM citizens will have the high level qualifications needed for many of those jobs?
