Today it was announced that New Mexico is dead last in child well-being; yet another last place finish for the Land of Enchantment.
As this report goes public, we at DPNM see where the priorities of Governor Susana Martinez lie: round table discussions and fundraising with wealthy, out of state campaign donors. Once again, the week that we hit the bottom of another important list, our Governor will be fundraising.
The price of attending a round table discussion with Governor Martinez?
$5,000.
That's right, for just $5,000 you can sit at a table with Governor Susana Martinez and have your voice heard.
What has to happen for the voices of New Mexican children to be heard? Do they also have to offer up a $5,000 contribution?
We know times are hard, but they will only get harder if we do not respond and make the public aware of the continuing failures of Governor Martinez. Please consider donating $10, or whatever you can, today so that we can hold Governor Martinez accountable for her lack of dedication to the families in our state.
It is time we end the jet setting ways of our Governor, and make sure she focuses on the children of New Mexico rather than her national profile. Our kids can't wait any longer.
