People who are in this country illegally can get a drivers license. Pitt bulls are not dangerous. Texting while driving is OK. If you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs and you're hurt on the job, the employer is liable. I seriously doubt the intelligence of the people in Santa Fe.

Mayor Miyagishima says no to increasing the minimum wage. Is this because he is self-serving? Because he is a small business owner instead of serving the people of the city?

Mr. Silva, before you say no to increase in minimum wage, you need to try living on it, and not even 40 hours a week but 30, because that is all small business owners are willing to give out before they have to give you benefits.

Mr. Beckett, in his council testimony, argued that he had to lay off 5 people after the last minimum wage correction. Maybe true, but he also hired several and opened a new location shortly after.

D'Antonio is doing a great job. He is prosecuting cases that need to be prosecuted. Not like the previous administration who would pick and choose the cases they would prosecute.

I agree with that person that says this DA is just throwing everything out the window. What is the matter with him? He does not seem to be doing his job.

A paved road to the spaceport? You would have thought that need would be noticed before now. It's not rocket science ... oh wait ... it is.

The piece on impact fees by Michael Hays was somewhat muddled. It would be helpful if the Sun-News could run an article about the mechanics and pros and cons of impact fees.

I can't believe that anyone would be opposed to Whiskey Dicks at that remote location. It is a nightclub. Why would it impact churches and schools? We need a dance hall.

There were clubs and bars in the past located in the location where Whisky Dicks want to build. There was no major problems then! These days you have nothing but complainers everywhere about everything.

The accident at the university and the death of Sandoval, was that only investigated by NMSU campus police? Or did the New Mexico State police do another investigation or the city police or sheriff? I was just wondering due to NMSU covering their own area.

Steve Pearce is only interested in making things work for the oil companies. He does not care who he eliminates or what wildlife that are extinct.

Congressman Steve Pearce has already stated that he would never "bail out" the post office. He doesn't care about lost jobs and the pain for people in his district that lose that service. He is more worried about getting rid of the lesser prairie chicken.

For those who claim Armageddon if sequester takes place, Bob Woodward's book points out that the idea of using deep, automatic, across-the-board domestic and defense spending cuts originated from the White House.

As my late grandfather used to say, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then it is a duck. So Lindsay Graham and John McCain, your nonfilibuster is a filibuster. So don't try and lie and make it something that it is not.

I thought Marco Rubio would be a better speaker and had better ideas in the State of the Union rebuttal, but, gosh, he was terrible.
