I had a good chuckle this week while checking the commentary on stories on our website. One of the only comments I’ve ever had on my column was basically, “your column is good, but Betty Williamson’s is better.” When I returned to the Portales News-Tribune as managing editor in January 2015 after a five-month absence, my first year in this position was spent trying to get my staff on a normal system of operation — something they had never had with PNT not having had its own m...

Managing Editor [email protected] Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is running for the second time as the Libertarian Party’s candidate for president. His chances appear slim, though the Constitution provides somewhat of an end-around. If Johnson wins New Mexico and its five electoral votes (or Utah’s Evan McMullin takes his state’s six), and neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump grab 270 of the remaining electoral votes, the matter could then be decided by the House of Representatives. It would be a 50-vote elect...
Gary Johnson, a two-term New Mexico governor, is running for the second time as the Libertarian Party's nominee for the White House.
