JetGate

Watch out Paris Hilton, here comes Governor Bill Richardson. Come to think of it, he would make a more realistic spokesperson for a fast food chain.

Front page of today's Journal (subscription) reports on the latest in the "JetGate" saga. My favorite quote:

"This was a business decision ... in the best interest of taxpayers," [General Services Secretary Edward J. Lopez Jr.] said. "This is what any other business would have done."

Will all of the New Mexico based businesses with private jets please come forward? Hmm, you mean there aren't a whole lot of businesses in this state buying jets? How many of you think this is "in the best interest of the taxpayers?"
