Ah... the good old DollarRunner Expre$$!
Incidentally there’s something the NM State Constitution says about rail transportation and members of our state government:
Article IV – Legislative Department
Sec. 37. [Railroad passes.]
It shall not be lawful for a member of the legislature to use a pass, or to purchase
or receive transportation over any railroad upon terms not open to the general public;
and the violation of this section shall work a forfeiture of the office.
Article XX – Miscellaneous
Sec. 14. [Public officers barred from using railroad passes.]
It shall not be lawful for the governor, any member of the state board of equalization,
any member of the corporation commission [public regulation commission], any judge of
the supreme or district court, any district attorney, any county commissioner or any
county assessor, during his term of office to accept, hold or use any free pass; or
purchase, receive or accept transportation over any railroad within this state for
himself or his family upon terms not open to the general public; and any person
violating the provisions hereof shall, upon conviction in a court of a competent
jurisdiction, be punished as provided in Sections Thirty-Seven and Forty of the article
on Legislative Department in this constitution.
Do state employees currently enjoy a reduced fare?
Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the post and ping. I hadn’t seen that before.
Too bad that the NM Constitution is just as meaningless to our State Overlords as the US Constitution is to the Federal Overlords.
