Just because you claim to be a "businessman" doesn't qualify you for public office. Government should serve the people, not itself. While it should function as efficiently as possible, the profit motive is irrelevant. If GOVERNMENT OFFICALS care more about money, power and prestige, vote 'em out. MY

GREGG HULL: Repudiate the corrupt, immoral actions of President Donald Trump and silent, complicit Republicans in the U.S. Congress and N.M. statehouse. Demonstrate that you mean it. Independent voters are waiting to hear this. Raising money will not be easy. But you want to be governor, so figure it out. ML

Dear Jovial Jeff (Tucker): Bad news: That commie pinko Native Americano THROTTLED your candidate. Good news: To thank you for your support and to ease your pain, I heard defeated Duke (Rodriguez) is going to give you some of his "product." Enjoy. RJ

Remember when we would go back-and-forth with Mississippi as the worst PUBLIC EDUCATION system in the country. Now Mississippi is near the top 10 best. We are near the bottom. Can someone from our education system visit Mississippi to see how the state did this? Lawmakers probably didn't just throw money at it. DM

Late Friday night, of course, Trump signed an executive order eliminating six life-saving CHILDHOOD VACCINES from the list of recommended vaccines from the CDC. All of these were FDA approved, but that doesn鈥檛 matter to the conspiracy theorists now in charge. How many children will die? JH

The law establishing the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY states that the director shall have extensive national security expertise. Bill Pulte, President Trump's appointee as acting director, has absolutely no national security expertise. His lack of expertise not only violates the law, it puts America at risk. Please follow the law, Mr. President. AF

If the president wants to keep the UFC STRUCTURE up on the White House lawn, why not add a Ferris wheel and a cotton candy stand? JJ

DEB HAALAND will be an even worse problem than what we have now. Her running against Trump has no merit. What will she do when Trump leaves office? It just proves that liberals have no plan except empty promises and false accusations against their opponents. With identity politics, no one wins. GH

Raising New Mexico鈥檚 MINIMUM WAGE to $15 by 2029 is misguided. Minimum wage was never intended to be a lifelong standard of living. Instead of focusing on education, skills and economic growth, this policy risks encouraging dependency, increasing costs for businesses and making it harder for the state to improve competitiveness. BD

The results of the ELECTIONS are in, and once again, we as a state are determined to be dead last in just about everything, except being dead last in everything. It's a kind of a strange badge of honor that, try as they may, nobody else can claim. DPS

My family and I have been insured with PRESBYTERIAN HEALTHCARE for 46 years. With Presbyterian eliminating its Advantage Plan, I will be moving my coverage to United Healthcare or Blue Cross Blue Shield. Goodbye, Pres. It was nice knowing you. DM

Congrats and welcome to JAMES BENNETT, the new managing editor of the sa国际传媒官网网页入口. If memory serves he is the third top editor in two years. Print journalism and news reporting are tough jobs. Your story on the chaos at CBS News confirms that. Best wishes, James. DC

As registered Republicans, we went to vote in what was supposed to be the first SEMI-OPEN PRIMARY. We arrived at the voting center and requested a Democratic ballot. There was so much confusion 鈥� even the supervisor was unclear on the rules. We were denied a ballot other than Republican. BH

Why is it that DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS can鈥檛 campaign without saying they hate Trump? How about your accomplishments? KP

Trump plans to headline his GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR with a MAGA speech pushing America forward. This is his chance of a lifetime to Make America Great Again, with positivity, not hurling angry insults. Hopefully he speaks of the ideals we share of freedom, strength and spirit as a nation. DD

Regarding "Duke City to host NATIONAL ARTS CONFERENCE" (May 30 Journal): The CEO of Americans for the Arts stated that although N.M. is one of the poorest states, it prioritizes arts and culture. Maybe if state government also prioritized private sector economic growth, school choice, and cutting taxes and spending, we wouldn鈥檛 be so poor. RJB

So how does a small business in N.M. differ from the likes of Bezos, Musk and Zuckerberg, who want to pay low WAGES so they can make more money? Perhaps small businesses should calculate their reasonable profit margin, the number of employees, their overhead and the hourly wage they can afford? EN

Regarding the talk of adding a new higher DENOMINATION OF CURRENCY, $250 now goes about as far as $100 did not that many presidents ago. BV

Someone should suggest moving TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL ARCH from Washington, D.C., to Mar-a-Lago. With a few modifications McDonalds would pay for it. A double arch in gold and red. How fitting. Make arches great again. GK

Who said it? "POWER CORRUPTS, absolute power corrupts absolutely?" Also needs to be added is "it's contagious." NG

Trump did nothing to create our nation. The $250 bill should show a picture of a REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER. They gave their lives to create our country, and there is no Revolutionary War soldiers鈥� monument in Washington 鈥� only 14 statues of specific individuals, but none of the ordinary soldiers. AD
