OK, so who are crime victims supposed to call until then? May they call the National Association of Social Workers-NM or the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness next time a homeless person is crapping on the sidewalk in front of their business in broad daylight?
Who should we call for car break-ins? Can the New Mexico Criminal Defense Lawyers Association or the Coalition for a Safer Albuquerque send out an investigator?
How about a violent crime? Will Common Cause NM, OLÉ or the ACLU of New Mexico send out a paramedic?
The governor gave them a paint-by-numbers list of bills that would have immediately made New Mexico safer.
In her packet, that could have just as easily been labeled "How to Make New Mexico Safer For Dummies," she laid out five common sense bills that would have actually made a measurable dent in crime.
The bills she proposed could have reduced the number of crime victims in New Mexico by thousands.
If they've lived in New Mexico for any amount of time, then they had time to consider how we might make our state safer.
