New Mexico’s Pigs
Sadly, and typical of New Mexico politics, our Cong are at or near the bottom of the rankings in the fight against pork barrel spending. See the nationwide Club for Growth’s rankings here (a score of 19 is perfect, meaning that that particular Cong voted for 19 out of 19 anti-pork meaures). New Mexico’s scores from best to worst:
Tom Udall – 5
Steve Pearce – 1
Heather Wilson – a big fat ZERO
Update: Over half of the Cong nationwide had a score of ZERO. That is bad news for the prospect of budget discipline. Only 21 protectors of taxpayers had a perfect score of 19.
