Governor Richardson’s reputation for speed on highways really deserves a second look. The bad press he got the first time was apparently not enough of a deterrent to bring it under control. His installation of a phone to keep from being pulled over again by police is an indication that he has no plans of slowing down. However, he would be wise to consider the tragic fate of a motorcyclist at the hands of another politician who put his need for speed ahead of the safety of others.
