Let's look at talking points vs. facts: Deficit — The deficit is composed primarily of tax cuts for the rich, two wars paid for by borrowing, a recession brought on by deregulation of the financial industry and non-enforcement of remaining regulations. The consensus of opinion of non-partisan experts is that longterm the deficit has to be addressed by tax increases and spending cuts. Despite the evidence, conservatives want the tax cuts to be made permanent and advocate further relaxing of regulations. The Congressional B...

- With proper maintenance and good weather conditions, the concrete construction officials are using on the roadways could last up to 100 years. Christina Calloway: Portales News-Tribune U.S. 70 construction project officials say the project is moving along despite a setback of weather days. Construction workers poured concrete on Second Street Thursday near South Avenue C. "We're doing it in concrete for the simple fact that concrete is more solid than what asphalt is," said Pat Garcia, New Mexico Department of...
In the Old Testament God's people had every reason to be stressed, big time. Enemies were everywhere but his people had a deep trust and respect for their God. I think we should have that too. When I get stressed I think about the ground when I see flowers, trees or gardens. What the sandbox is to children is what gardening is to me. There is something about the ground that attracts us, whatever age. I think it is because God who created us also created every thing we would ever need in this physical life. People lived long i...
Seeing his father's name relocated to another road on Cannon Air Force Base would be like seeing the death of his father a second time, said Keith Ingram. Ingram's father, D.L. Ingram, was a local dignitary who helped pioneer the Committee of 50, an organization that has served as a lobbyist for Cannon. The main road that leads into the base has had D.L. Ingram's name since his death in 1989. Now, Ingram is concerned his father's name will be moved after Cannon officials told him there are plans to do so. Ericka Engblom:...

MELROSE — Senior running back Tucker Morgan scored on a 4-yard run with about two minutes left Thursday night to lift Floyd/Elida past Melrose 14-8 in an 8-man District 2 football game. The game had been scheduled for Saturday at Floyd, but was switched to Thursday night because of school conflicts and the fact that Floyd's field does not have lights. The win snaps a six-game losing streak for the Broncos (2-6, 1-2 district), who close their season at home against district foe Tatum at 1 p.m. on Nov. 3. The Buffaloes (0-8, 0...
CMI sports writer [email protected] CLOVIS — Clovis High looked like it had Portales all but beaten after two sets Thursday night, then the Lady Rams were on the verge of winning it in five. Such is volleyball. The Lady Wildcats erased a 7-1 deficit in the deciding game to pull out a 25-21, 25-16, 18-25, 25-22, 17-15 victory at Rock Staubus Gym, a result which leaves both squads at 10-8 heading into their final two district matches. "We just got out of our rhythm," said Clovis junior libero Andrea Aguilar. "Once we f...
CMI sports writer [email protected] The Ruidoso Warriors are off to a 7-1 start and are having one of their best seasons in some time. Meanwhile, the Portales Rams have struggled. When they meet tonight at Greyhound Stadium, though, both will be on even footing in their District 4-3A opener. Warriors coach Kief Johnson said his squad hasn't had this kind of start since around 1998, although Ruidoso did win a Class 3A state title in 2002 by rallying to beat the Rams with two late touchdowns at Greyhound Stadium. "We knew...
In normal life, people generally see a monopoly as a bad thing. Lack of competition leads to poor services or products and inflated prices. Customer service gets put on the back burner because the money will come in regardless. Business monopolies can only exist in collusion with government. Without the protectionism of regulation and red tape, competitors would quickly arise to satisfy the unhappy customers. Government stifles this natural process for the benefit of its corporate supporters and donors, and to the detriment...
