I feel I must correct some errors in this article and the one this last Sunday.

When the Legislature got on board in the hectic final hours of the 2003 special session

I was not hectic is was down right boring as most of the committees did not meet and we spent hours sitting around waiting for the Democrats to get out of caucusing.

few members knew exactly what they were agreeing to. Gov. Bill Richardson's administration had quietly tucked the commuter train appropriation inside a nearly $1.6 billion road-improvement package.

We new as we debated the train on the house floor and over and over again Secretary Rhonda Faught was asked for a feasibility report, how much the tickets would be, what was the estimated rider ship, where was the funding going to come from. Each answer was obscure. She was even asked if the Railrunner would not divert dollars away form roads and her answer was no. BTW the vote in the house was along party lines.

Sounds like she's following in Hillary's footsteps.
