New Mexico Watchdog - Why does State Representative Sheryl Williams Stapleton have a reserved parking space on the grounds of the State Fair?  Simply asking the question made it disappear.  Poof! It’s a simple question.  But Rep. Stapleton won’t provide an answer.  And now the State Fair tells us a special parking space reserved for the legislator can’t be found.

Like Geoffrey Rush’s wonderful line from Shakespeare In Love:  “‘Tis a mystery!”

We happened upon Representative Stapleton’s reserved parking space in August.  There it was, just steps from the door of the Sheryl M. Williams Stapleton African American Performing Arts Center and Exhibit Hall. “UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLES WILL BE TOWED AT OWNER’S EXPENSE,” the official sign warns anyone even considering pulling between the white lines that set apart several square yards of tarmac for its Rightful Occupant.

The Sheryl Williams Stapleton Memorial Reserved Parking Space was still there a month later when we passed by on our annual pilgrimage during the New Mexico State Fair for a chicharone and bean burrito in The Spanish Village. Read More News New Mexico
