Is it Possible Government Could Operate Like a Business? It is possible for government to be prudent with tax dollars, using common sense when paying for goods and services - just like private sector businesses manage their operations. It just doesn’t happen often enough.
Regarding Integrity, Thomas Jefferson said, “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
And so it is, the NMBC will stand like a rock. There is much to be done in this state – for the people of this state. While we are open to new ideas that will move this state forward, the NMBC will not conform our mission to fit the agenda of whomever is in power at the time or simply ‘go along to get along’.
“It is not the critic who counts. . .The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; . . . who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” – Theodore Roosevelt

What worked and what didn’t work during the recent 60 day legislative session? New Mexicans have heard from Governor Martinez, House majority leaders and the Senate Majority Leader, Michael Sanchez. But we have not heard from the highest ranking Senate Democrat, President Pro Tempore Mary Kay Papen who will provide the keynote for the 2015 Post-Legislative BASH (Business and Social Hour) this THURSDAY, April 9, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM at the Albuquerque Country Club.

Senator Papen will provide an overview of the recently ended legislative session from her view as New Mexico’s top senator.
The session is over and for that we are thankful. There seemed to be many who thought this was one of the worst sessions in memory. Was it due to personal or political agendas? Or was it due to a widening ideological gap?
Regarding the vote to table HB 291/a, NM Federal Land Management Study Commission, sponsored by Representative Herrell, there was some inaccurate information. The official document the NMBC relied on that showed the recorded votes in the House Judiciary Committee was incorrect.
