New Mexico’s addiction to bad policy

The Albuquerque Journal’s John Trever remains the best political cartoonist New Mexico has ever seen and his latest cartoon from Sunday’s paper is no exception. The following illustrates how New Mexico’s Legislature consistently kills off good policy ideas for no apparent reason. Of course, the electorate continues to accept/embrace the same bad policies pushed by so-called “progressives.”

Trever could have easily added several bills including school choice or education accountability, spending restraint and reducing government waste, limiting the Gov.’s “emergency” powers, and preserving traditional/affordable energy (to name just a few).
