Just read where San Jos茅, CA, population 956,000, has already experienced 26 homicides so far this year. On reading that, I checked to see what sa国际传媒官网网页入口, population 558,000, has experienced comparatively. I learned that we have experienced 102 HOMICIDES. What causes such disparity? What makes sa国际传媒官网网页入口 so dangerous? KC

Regarding 鈥淰oters should exercise great discernment in judicial retentions鈥� (Oct. 20 Sunday Journal): Thanks for providing feedback on judges. It is fascinating that the JPEC chose to purchase an ad, after being given editorial space, and that Supreme Court Chief Justice David K. Thomson wrote an editorial to further influence voters to retain most judges, regardless of the negative impact their rulings have had. LG

Regarding 鈥淎PS seeks public feedback on budget鈥� (Oct. 27 Sunday Journal): cites 68,000 students and a 2024-25 budget of $2.15 billion. Please do the math with me: That is over $31,500 PER STUDENT. DP

The lightest lie told every election season is this: A vote for this bond won鈥檛 increase your TAXES. Wake up people. TT

Regarding 鈥淧aid leave would allow workers to care for loved ones鈥� (Oct. 23, Journal): We don鈥檛 need to attract HEALTH CARE WORKERS to New Mexico, we need to take care of the ones we have. JR

Maybe the trial lawyers who support the high MALPRACTICE CAPS, and all the malpractice lawsuits, should lose access to their own doctors. Give them a taste of their own medicine. RB

I am so grateful for the OBAMACARE insurance subsidies. For those of us who are self-employed, small business owners, entrepreneurs or don鈥檛 work for a big company that offers insurance benefits, this program has been a godsend. EF

What would happen if the government told men they cannot get a VASECTOMY? JL

It鈥檚 time for the POLICE CHIEF to retire. He has proven that he lacks leadership skills and that he should never hold a press conference, that鈥檚 why APD has a spokesman. The hardworking officers at APD deserve a chief that has their six, not someone full of excuses. TC

Why is it that every time the MAYOR AND CHIEF of police both talk on the TV it is about what they have done but all we see done is nothing? Oh, that鈥檚 right, they鈥檙e hoping to get reelected next year. Hopefully this won鈥檛 happen again. EM

If I could say one thing to both the mayor of sa国际传媒官网网页入口 and the MAYOR OF RIO RANCHO, it would be this: This used to be a nice place to live once. AP

Regarding 鈥淔undamental change is the only solution to NM鈥檚 woes at this point鈥� (Oct. 27 Sunday Journal) It is so right on. The SINGLE POLITICAL PARTY in power since 1931 and the people that supported and voted for them all these years must like the way things have become so why change now? HH

Insanity is the repeating of the same task over and over, expecting different results. If that鈥檚 true, are NEW MEXICANS A CRAZY BUNCH? We rank last in education, 45 in economy, 44 in infrastructure, 38 in health care and the list goes on. What鈥檚 the common denominator? We continue to elect the same political party to office and expect different results. The evidence speaks for itself loud and clear; we鈥檙e nuts. WU

How many times do Republican Senate candidate Nella Domenici and former U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell have to strongly state, in media interviews, in political ads, in debates, etc., their firm opposition to a NATIONAL ABORTION BAN before their political opponents stop lying about it? MG

What politicians like Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez fail to mention when they talk about fixing SOCIAL SECURITY by making wealthy pay more tax is this: their benefits are capped. If she wants it to be fair, she would also mention raising benefits while raising taxes, but that鈥檚 not her objective. JB

A POLITICAL CANDIDATE campaigning from the pulpit of a church is wrong from so many perspectives. DP

Regarding: 鈥淣M cannabis firms sue feds鈥� (Oct. 25 Journal): It鈥檚 against federal law to possess, use, transport or distribute MARIJUANA. N.M. businesses are transporting marijuana on federal roadways for distribution. Federal officers are enforcing federal law. Guess they鈥檙e doing their job. If these businesses have an issue, maybe they should have their great Congressional District 2 representative鈥檚 help. JEH

Step one, legalize marijuana in N.M. Step two, expand state government creating a commission to regulate the industry. Step three, expand that commission to take care of the industry鈥檚 鈥渂ad actors.鈥� None of this was needed. Is CANNABIS really good for N.M. or is this just good money chasing a bad decision? DB

I can鈥檛 wait for the election to be over so the back-to-back commercials for various candidates will end. Then we can get back to the back-to-back to back commercials about the DIFFERENT LAW FIRMS we have become accustomed to. SS

Kudos to the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times for NOT ENDORSING presidential candidates. Newspapers and all media should be in the business of reporting the news, not making it. BB

Kudos to the ABQ CONVENTION CENTER for turning down former President Donald Trump鈥檚 visit. Maybe there was a repair issue, but the biggest issue is that his campaign owes the city over $444,000 from 5 years ago. Anyone that doesn鈥檛 pay their rent gets evicted, so why should we let him 鈥渕ove鈥� in again? MH

More and more I鈥檓 seeing evidence that this PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION is narcissistic billionaires against democracy. And I鈥檓 not here for it. I voted straight blue and will continue to do so until the Republican Party leadership starts honoring the U.S. Constitution and all the people of this country. KE

Regarding 鈥淗arris, the president we should be looking for鈥� (Oct. 20 Sunday Journal): The Counterpoint supporting Vice President KAMALA HARRIS was a microcosm of her campaign: Vague platitudes describing an unaccomplished candidate. Like her campaign, it provided no specifics on how she鈥檇 address critical issues, e.g., inflation, the boarder, crime. RB

23 Nobel Prize-winning economists said former President Donald TRUMP鈥橲 ECONOMIC PLANS would cause 鈥渉igher prices, larger deficits, and greater inequality.鈥� They endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, saying her policies would result in a 鈥渟tronger economic performance, with economic growth that is more robust, more sustainable, and more equitable.鈥� JH

The DEMOCRATS are showing how out of touch they are with their constituents. Of course, with their dismal record from the local to the national levels, they have nothing else to run on. Why do we continue to reelect them? They do not care about us, only power. DO

No matter who wins the NATIONAL ELECTION, state and local law enforcement must be prepared to prevent any armed insurrection on Jan. 6. GEN

As long as states refuse to remove non-citizens, the dead and fake people from their VOTER ROLLS, I reserve the right to question election results. Should be no question about that right, but it should be a practical consideration, why leave the rolls unaudited? Why, indeed. AN

Regarding the SEXUALLY EXPLICIT billboards of Vice President Kamala Harris in Ohio, I am 90 years old and have watched presidential elections since Roosevelt vs. Dewey. All those races were hotly contested. What we are witnessing now is unthinkable. Since former President Donald Trump has entered politics, he has brought the endeavor to a new low and sadly some Americans think this is acceptable. GM

Regarding 鈥淏enally makes college choice: it鈥檚 Princeton鈥� (Oct.28 sa国际传媒官网网页入口 Journal) Congrats to Sydney Benally for having her priorities in order and choosing Princeton to continue her college basketball career. Hopefully she will follow in Bill Bradley鈥檚 footsteps and lead Princeton to the final four and become a United States senator representing New Mexico. WM

CAL THOMAS is clueless on what it鈥檚 like to be a pregnant woman. He鈥檚 wrong when he says the unborn child is only a temporary resident of the female body and not a part of it. Ignorant, like-minded politicians should not be making laws concerning women鈥檚 bodies. JC

On Oct.26 I went to the FIXIT CLINIC at Fuse Makerspace. Even though it was the wrong day, the two people there couldn鈥檛 have been more helpful: Looking at my broken electronics, troubleshooting and then fixing the problem. I just want to say thank you to both of them. RM

ABQ Ride BUS ROUTES just changed all the times for the Lomas buses 鈥渢o improve on-time service,鈥� yet the buses still continue to be late. I guess some things never change except the scheduled time ABQ Ride will probably be late to arrive at. BV

Please vote for AMENDMENT NO. 1 to support veterans. This state is floating in money. It is clueless on solving problems without raising taxes. We have no income problem; N.M. has a spending problem. It raises property taxes annually without seeing where it could save money, NM needs to live within its budget. MT
