Dem’s priorities are skewed

ON THE SAME day we learned New Mexico was rated the worst state in the entire USA to raise a family and with the state already facing a $260 million budget short fall, one of the very first acts of the Democratic-led New Mexico State Legislature was to announce plans for a constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana.

That says a lot about the priorities of Democrats and the future of this state and people who live here.

When will voters hold Democrats, who have controlled both houses of the Legislature all but five times over the last 20 years, accountable for New Mexico’s systemic problems with the budget, education, jobs, crime, etc.
