On the heels of his European tour, the Governor is considering yet another international jaunt (subscription) with questionable benefit to New Mexico taxpayers. Frankly, I’m having a real hard time understanding how Governor Richardson could possibly find the time to visit with the North Koreans. After all, he has already been forced to outsource policymaking to a Pennsylvania firm despite growing the number of exempt employees serving at the pleasure of the governor by nearly 50 percent (subscription).
