Hooray– tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. New Mexico’s 2015 legislative session ends– can you believe we’ve made it?! Here’s a few highlight blogposts from the past two months:
House Dems send message: If you can’t win it, “whine” it!

Hanna Skandera Confirmed as Secretary of Education
Long overdue?! Hanna Skandera, who has been the brunt of many an attack from union-loving Democrats has finally been confirmed as the New Mexico Secretary of Education.

This time it comes in the form of a panel that decides whether a campaign ad is truthful or false. Yeah. Really. Doesn’t Silver City mind being represented by a First Amendment-hater?!
