New Mexico’s economic policy is counter-productive

After more than a year of attempting to work out our differences and attempting to supervise and communicate with Mr. Chiapetti, the Board of Education has come to the point in its evaluation of that employer-employee relationship that it no longer has trust nor confidence in him to work with the Board of Education in the manner necessary...

Aries (March 21-April 19)

BEWARE Aries! You’re on treacherous ground. Though your fiery heart is that of a warrior, your impatience is costing you. How much? Time will tell. If you’ve offended a heart that’s dear, suck it up and apologize. That heart may not wait around forever. Remember, you can be right or you can be...
