A note from The Brass Monkey Blog . Net… The following was in the letters to the editor section of the Albuquerque Journal on June 30. The ‘Roundhouse’ referred to in the post is the building where the state legislature meets. Manny Aragon was president of the state senate and in the legislature for a number of years and was convicted and sentenced to 5½ years in prison for his role in a huge corruption case involving the new metro courthouse building in Albuquerque.

Manny Aragon chose the “prison track’ as opposed to the “blue collar” career track or the “white collar” career track — there are only 3 tracks.

The gangbangers, by definition, choose the prison track, so they can be taken care of by the state — forever because they will never be responsible citizens or taxpayers

Aragon fed at the public trough for 33 years. He’ll continue to feed at the public trough, courtesy again of us the taxpayers. For a judge to attend his “party” makes the whole court system a laughing stock. Or it makes the New Mexico judicial system a useless entity.

Many New Mexico public employees are in the paper daily, skimming taxpayer money for there own use, as in greed. There is no recourse because any ethics legislation in the Roundhouse is usually killed. Throwing “all” the bums out is the only way to cleanse the cancer in the Roundhouse… This comes from Dave in Roswell
