If this is what the Secret Service has become, it’s a wonder that something worse than Butler, P.A., hasn’t
already happened. That event was terrible enough, with one rally-goer killed and Donald Trump coming within an inch of losing his life. If Trump hadn’t turned his head at the right moment, Butler would have...
Heinrich, Tonko introduce legislation to increase access to buprenorphine
ALBUQUERQUE — U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., and U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko, D-N.Y., introduced the Broadening Utilization of Proven and Effective Treatment for Recovery Act, or BUPE for Recovery Act, legislation to increase access to buprenorphine — a lifesaving drug used to treat opioid use disorder — by removing barriers providers and patients face when trying to access the medication on Oct. 4“New Mexicans know too well the heartache of losing a loved one to opioids,” Heinrich said. “Enough is enough.

Letter to the Editor: We need a healthcare system that values patients over profits
Dear Editor,

Vote in the judicial retention races
American political scientist Larry J. Sabato said, “Every election is determined by the people who show up.”Showing up – and voting – are particularly important for judicial retention races. Under state law, once a New Mexico Supreme Court Justice, Court of Appeals Judge, District Judge or Metropolitan Court Judge has won a partisan election, they go into our judicial retention system. When their term expires, a judge stands for retention. They do not face another candidate, but instead are either retained or not retained by voters. Each judge must receive 57% voter approval to remain on the bench.
The concept behind this system is that judges will improve their performance on...
