Wujan Lujan... Drunken Sailors Don't Spend This Much...

Yesterday, I wrote about the New Mexico Legislature giving approval for a new Cabinet post with all of its associated costs. Today, I get to report that some of the budget cuts approved were vetoed by Governor Lujan-Grisham. It has been said that the Special Session cost taxpayers $50K / day.  It ended after 4 days, incurring a cost of $200,000, an expense born by the taxpayers.

In response to the tweet on the left, I asked the Governor, "Then why did you waste hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on a not so special, Special Session? You know, the Special Session, which was called and from which you banned citizens' participation, due to a budgetary crisis due to overspending?"

The revised budget passed by the Legislature cut $600 million out of the $7.6 billion budget which had been passed. And many of those cuts were vetoed. Go figure... What do you do with a looney Lujan - a woman drunk on power...

Drunken sailors in a liberty port don't burn through money the way Wujan Lujan does.

Yours in New Mexico...
