Wait a minute! What happened in March this year when the spaceport tax was up for a vote? He was quoted then saying "No Tax, No Spaceport" to the residents of Doña Ana County. It was that important. Check out his comments and push for a yes vote on the tax here: http://www.lcsun-news.com/news/ci_5549521

What's the Spaceport going to do you ask?
It will handle "Excursions of communters to the edge of space." To do what? Take small momentos, maybe the ashes of a loved one....looks like they got deals on those. Check out their blog about it. Oh yes, there is a blog about these "amazing excursions" that billionares and there dogs just love to take. http://nmspaceport.blogspot.com/

But not only were sky-high dreamers needed. Lots of political propulsion fueled by high-financing was crucial.

Tha'ts where in steps Bill Richardson with a tax increase, not to the billionaires who don't even live in NM, but to Doña Ana County Residents. They had to flip the bill.

Now let's visit today's paper. Front Page news "Governor won't back rail tax." This tax would be for the expansion of the RAIL RUNNER which means PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION for NM residents that we so desperatly need. I would GLADLY pay that tax.

I ask you Mr. Governor Richardson: Where are your priorities? Are you trying to appeal to the billionaire vote? The republican "no taxes, smaller government" party? Or the NM families that need a public transportation system that will get them to and from their jobs in an affordable way?

When you are president Governor Richardon? Will you build more spaceports around the country for so-called economic development? Or will you build appropriate public transportation for working people to get to their jobs?
