ABQ Journal Report: NM Budget Mess, Unpaid Teacher Furloughs Possible

You and I have to balance our check books! Why can’t New Mexico??!! It seems to me the only one really watching the state budget is Senator John Arthur Smith! We may be looking at a 5 cents a gallon tax increase on gasoline. The state is in bad shape, just selected as the nations worst run state.  ABQ Journal Report

Pastor Dewey Note: We love our state! Prayer changes everything! Jesus is the answer! Amen! We need to face these problems from a Biblical viewpoint to change this ugly stuff. We need to look at them as Jesus does. Politics in New Mexico just buries the state, neither party can get it right! We should no longer hide from these issues. I have been here since 1995 and this is just more of the same, but nothing is done to change the course of this state. We are to leave this world a better place than we found it. God will not bless this state unless it ends the murder of HIS babies through abortion. Here is KDAZ News Director Frank Haley’s report:

New Mexico is at the bottom of another list.    New Mexico ranks as the worst run state by 24/7 Wall St. for the second consecutive year. Following a large. . . shortfall in the state’s   2016 and 2017 budgets, Moody’s downgraded the state’s credit rating and outlook. . The likelihood of living in poverty is very high for individuals without a high school diploma. In New Mexico, fewer than 85% of adults have a high school diploma.   New Mexico’s labor market is struggling. The state’s labor force declined over the last five years, and 6.5% of workers were unemployed in October, the highest October jobless rate of in the nation.

Pastor Dewey Post from this week:

Sadly, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel financially for New Mexico. The Albuquerque Journal is reporting that New Mexico is running out of money, or when you really look at, the state already has. According to the Journal report the state is on track to have a deficit of about $69 million, despite a special session and budget cuts. It’s really going to take a good “gut check” to get the state in the black. The state has many challenges, who will have the boldness to make the necessary cuts?    ABQ Journal Report

Pray for New Mexico…….We are in constant prayer for Godly wisdom for our leaders.

God is to be our financial planner!

What is going to happen to our children? Our grandchildren?……the future generations of New Mexico?

My Daddy always taught me to leave the world a better place than I found it!

Look at this budget surplus in Minnesota!

New Mexico Alliance for Life Statement on Senate Judiciary Criminal Referral of Planned Parenthood, Fetal Tissue Procurement Organizations
 to FBI, Justice Dept. for Investigation
ALBUQUERQUE, NM: New Mexico Alliance for Life issued the following statement on the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Criminal Referral of Planned Parenthood and Fetal Tissue Procurement Organizations to the FBI and the U.S. Justice Dept. for investigation:
“Both chambers of Congress are finally doing their duty to investigate the often publicly-funded abuses of the abortion industry, which have gone unchecked for years,” said New Mexico Alliance for Life Executive Director Elisa Martinez. “We are pleased to see the U.S. Senate corroborate the findings of the House Select Panel on Infant Lives, and like the Panel refer Planned Parenthood and StemExpress for criminal prosecution in the profiting and trafficking of aborted infant body parts.”

“We urge U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to investigate these findings and prosecute the lawbreakers who take advantage of women and children for profit,” said Martinez. “In our state, Attorney General Hector Balderas has a duty to protect New Mexico taxpayers from the potential illegal abuse of women and children that has come from the University of New Mexico and Southwestern Women’s Options.  If Hector Balderas will not do his job to investigate and prosecute both UNM and Southwestern Women’s Options, we will urge the incoming U.S. Attorney General, Jeff Sessions to do the job Hector Balderas will not.”
