New Mexico Mayors Fire Back At Governor

Threats and intimidation rarely work in the long run. All they do is foster ill will between parties. Opponents become adve. Enemies become 

Such is the case of Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham and the mayors of several New Mexico cities. By threatening mayors and others, Lujan Grisham is showing that she hasn't learned the "fine art of subtlety". She's taking the route of a despot.

As Jock Ewing (Jim Davis) told his son J.R. on Dallas:

"Junior, it's time you learned the art of subtlety. .. . . Because the lack of it turns competitors into enemies and enemies into fanatics."

KRQE reported:

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) – Mayors from around New Mexico are striking back. This after Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham wrote an op-ed threatening to remove them from office if they don’t enforce the public health order. 

“We’re trying to express to the governor and her advisors that Roswell is not Rio Rancho it’s not Raton. Each of these communities have their own separate problems and our own solutions. Work with us, don’t work against us,” said Dennis Kintigh, Mayor of Roswell. 

The letter sent directly to the governor last Wednesday was written by Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull but was endorsed by another 17 other mayors from all parts of the state. Hobbs Mayor Sam Cobb says they sent the letter because they all feel something needs to be done. 

“Each community has individual needs and so that’s what we were trying to do, trying to get these individual needs of our respective constituents addressed,” said Cobb. 

“Difficult job she has that our community has to stop, cause people are dying with this disease but to completely close the economy, destroy hundreds if not thousands of small businesses. We should think of different ways to do that,” said Cobb.
