7 Days

From Sept. 30

1
Las Campanas ends clubhouse furlough after two weeks.
But two weeks without golf and tennis…that’s like a lifetime.

2
Census says last year New Mexico had one of the highest poverty rates in the country.
Is this what’s meant by recession proof?

3
State may have even greater budget problems than it originally thought.
That’s what happens when you do math using longhand.

4
Gas prices are down.
Which is great, unless your car has been repossessed.

5
City reportedly paid $450,000 to promote creative tourism.
Might be cheaper to just pay people to come here.

6
Public Service Company of New Mexico leaves US Chamber of Commerce because of chamber’s opposition to climate-change legislation.
OK, so this week we can’t make fun of PNM.

7
Albuquerque’s Balloon Fiesta kicks off.
Sorry, still not as cool as Zozobra.
