When the lead news story in the state is the fact that NMSU has suspended an Aggie guard for his role in a postgame brawl, it's pretty obvious that the priorities of both the state's [alleged] policymakers and its punditocracy are sadly misplaced.
Or nonexistent, even.
The New Mexico Lege concluded its "short session" last week. Sessions alternate: A so-called "full session" occurs each odd-numbered year, which is to say, 60 whole whopping days out of 365. That's it. That's a full legislative session in New Mexico. Even-numbered years, like this year, are limited to 30-day sessions. Fewer days than in the entire month of January.
It's a disgrace.
