SPEAK UP!
OPINION: Speak Up!
Jeff Tucker needs to get over his metaphorical Tim Keller fights and touch some grass. That little WRECKING BALL fantasy was just weird. Also, let's build a multibillion dollar taxpayer-funded private NBA stadium when we can't afford childcare. Get over yourself. JG
Jeff Tucker's support of "Duke" mentions a new indoor arena and also a desire for a NBA/WNBA TEAM in sa国际传媒官网网页入口. Salt Lake City鈥檚 population is about 2.8 million compared to ABQ at 1 million. When ABQ matches SLC we will get a NBA team. Tucker, listen to 鈥淥pening Drive鈥 for realistic possibilities. GT
Before wasting more of the taxpayers鈥 hard-earned money on implementing the VISION ZERO traffic system, the city should study those cities where it has failed and (in some places) even increased fatalities. RJB
Taxpayers are paying for President Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Now we're paying to erect a temporary UFC FIGHT CAGE in front of the White House to celebrate 250 years of democracy. What's happened to our country? Is this what the majority of Americans want? NK
It's really sad that the main criterion to select a DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE is how much the candidate hates the president of the United States. I would much rather hear what the candidate is going to do than how they will defy the president. TE
The more I read about DATA CENTERS, the more horrified I am. It鈥檚 not just the tremendous amount of water they take, it鈥檚 also electricity. We鈥檝e been warned for decades that our grids are in danger because of the lack of upgrading and upkeep. JH
MINIMUM WAGE is not intended to be lived on. If you are over the age of 17 and making minimum wage you are a bad worker. Businesses will raise wages for good employees to keep them. KP
If Torrance, Otero and Curry county commissioners are so eager to participate in ICE operations in NM and their privately run prisons, let them spend six months or a year in their PRIVATE PRISONS. Prisons should not be private, for-profit facilities where profit is the only motive. EN
Good for Hawaii for finding a fresh approach to take on CITIZENS UNITED. Corporations should not be paying so much money for elections that they are in charge of who gets elected. All states should follow Hawaii鈥檚 lead. JH
Don鈥檛 think for a minute that FUEL PRICES will decrease to pre-Trump distraction war prices once he calls it quits in Iran. Too many ultra-wealthy stockholders are enjoying the profits. JPO
Have we all forgotten there are fellow human beings on all those ships in the STRAIT OF HORMUZ? They are/were just doing their jobs to provide for their families. MB
The president wants a billion in tax dollars for BALLROOM SECURITY even though the White House has vehicle barriers, fences, armed guard posts, roof top snipers, Secret Service agents and other protections. A billion dollars for security or his ballroom? AF
So be it that Trump felt he needed to sue the IRS, and ultimately American taxpayers. However, instead of putting SLUSH MONEY out there for criminals and people he favors, he could鈥檝e put that money toward the Wounded Warrior Project, disabled veterans and those who actually sacrificed for our country.

TRUMP pursues power by affixing his name/likeness on institutions, passports and currency; by grandiose building projects: triumphal arch, a White House ballroom and National Arts Center; by encroaching on the sovereignty of Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba; by harassing critics James Comey, John Bolton and Letitia James.

While European leaders immediately condemned Russia's May 24 KYIV ATTACK, I looked for Trump's response and Google reported: "No results found. We didn't find any results for Trump's response to Russian attacks on Kyiv." Trump said he would resolve this war on day 1. Peace Prize? More like Shame Prize. SJ
The two buildings near San Mateo and Central are full of blight. What鈥檚 the holdup on redevelopment? It鈥檚 frustrating to see so little progress along the CENTRAL CORRIDOR. Former Mayor Richard Berry may have created the problem, but he鈥檚 been out of office for years. Why is nothing moving forward? SR
Trump's next war should be against SCAMMERS. They hurt Americans more than Iran, Cuba and Greenland combined. Start now. Duped Americans are needing action here now. GK
It won't matter if the UNM MEDICAL SCHOOL doubles or triples enrollment for incoming students if, after graduation, they send them out of state for residencies. Focus needs to be on research and residency programs unique to NM that bring doctors here. Create a Los Alamos reputation for medicine. CA
If JEFF BEZOS adamantly thinks the bottom half of wage earners shouldn't pay taxes then he can put his money where his mouth is by paying the bottom half鈥檚 state tax on Amazon purchases. He can make it up by charging the rich more for space rides. Just sayin鈥. JMR
New Mexico, what's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Well, 60 years of VOTING DEMOCRATS into office and New Mexico has gained nothing but bad schools, dangerous streets, no doctors and bad laws. NC
NM INDEPENDENT VOTERS don鈥檛 get to vote independently in the primary. We must choose a Democratic or Republican ballot. The whole point of being an independent is to avoid one-party rule. I鈥檇 like to vote for both candidates of both parties in the primary. Let鈥檚 have a truly open primary. JL
