I have never seen a Governor spend so much money in a short time…… but look here New Mexico Leads the Nation in Child Hunger

That is a lot of power that the Governor has…to hand out raises like this and a $2 million loan! What about our children? What about abortion? Albuquerque is the abortion Capital. Last week in the news was that a woman from Canada came here to abort her baby, so many from all over come to New Mexico for abortions.  In my travels of New Mexico I see such horrible poverty. Communities suffering. Rural New Mexico is in pain. I think the Governors priorities are way out of wack.

Michelle Lujan Grisham has authorized 17% salary increases for all Cabinet secretaries in her administration.

The raises, which took effect for the pay period that started last week, will increase the appointees’ annual pay from $128,000 to $150,000.

The Governor also handed out a $2 Million loan to Roswell!!! Who is holding the Governor accountable? 17% increases and a $2 million loan???!!! Where is the checks and balances?

$2 Million Loan to Rosewell

I see the need to help Roswell from the windstorm damage, but where are the boundaries for the Governor loaning money?

Governor Lujan Grisham is spending money like there is no tomorrow.
