Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Completely honest and highly informative. To look at a legislative body is to observe democracy in the raw—with all its diverse characters and influences and its many conflicts, compromises, and achievements. Dede Feldman, a first-rate observer and chronicler, shows us the insides of the New Mexico State Senate.”—Fred Harris, former U.S. Senator and professor emeritus of political science, University of New Mexico Elected to New Mexico’s state senate in 1996, Dede Feldman faced the challenges that confront state legislators around the country along with some that are uniquely New Mexican. In this forthright account of the workings of New Mexico’s legislature, she reveals how the work of governing is actually accomplished. In New Mexico’s part-time citizen legislature, Spanish may be spoken in the halls of the capitol as often as English, and Native American issues are often pivotal. But each year the Land of Enchantment’s legislators, like those in other states, must balance revenues and expenditures, tangle with lobbyists, and struggle with redistricting and campaign finance reform. State legislatures’ approaches to air pollution, drunk driving, and chronic disease, Feldman’s book reveals, find their way into national law after they’ve been road tested on the highways of various states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governor Clyde Tingley, "City Boss" of Albuquerque, created a powerful Democratic Machine in New Mexico, one that replaced Republican dominance in northern New Mexico. And to seal the process, during his term as governor (1935-1938), he made well over a dozen visits to Washington and kept a steady correspondence with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. With the goal in mind to construct a New Deal for New Mexico, one that only a handful of other states could match, Clyde Tingley entered the capitol ready to reorganize state government. In his first steps, he created the first Bureau of State Revenue with a mandate that the Finance Board audit all state executive departments. Moving forward with his key goal to modernize the state, he initiated WPA, CCC, and PWA projects to provide relief, economic and cultural development within the state. He wanted tourists to come to New Mexico, so he dressed up the state with large-scale highway construction and put the Highway Department in charge of New Mexico Magazine to showcase the glamour and color of the state. In addition, Governor Tingley presided over changes to reform, education, welfare, health and labor relations. Although Tingley's administration succeeded, he failed to block a rival, the smart and ambitious Senator Dennis Chavez, whom he had named to fill a vacant seat in the United States Senate. Ultimately, the question became who would achieve permanent control of the Democratic Machine, Tingley or Chavez? While Governor Clyde Tingley brought New Mexico into the twentieth century, his wife, Carrie Wooster Tingley, enjoyed great popularity for her sincerity and the sympathetic hand she lent to those with less. It was her idea for the state to build a hospital for crippled children, which was named after her. Carrie and Clyde were a colorful pair-he for his photos with movie stars and celebrities, his dress-ups in cowboy hats and boots, and she for her colorful hats, often in lavender, her favorite color, and her once a week attendance at the movies. But being governor could not last forever. He returned to Albuquerque to be elected mayor once again, and as before, he and Carrie drove around Albuquerque each night to see that all was fine and to put the City to bed.

Download or read book Forty Seventh Star written by David Van Holtby and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Mexico was ceded to the United States in 1848, at the end of the war with Mexico, but not until 1912 did President William Howard Taft sign the proclamation that promoted New Mexico from territory to state. Why did New Mexico’s push for statehood last sixty-four years? Conventional wisdom has it that racism was solely to blame. But this fresh look at the history finds a more complex set of obstacles, tied primarily to self-serving politicians. Forty-Seventh Star, published in New Mexico’s centennial year, is the first book on its quest for statehood in more than forty years. David V. Holtby closely examines the final stretch of New Mexico’s tortuous road to statehood, beginning in the 1890s. His deeply researched narrative juxtaposes events in Washington, D.C., and in the territory to present the repeated collisions between New Mexicans seeking to control their destiny and politicians opposing them, including Republican U.S. senators Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana and Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island. Holtby places the quest for statehood in national perspective while examining the territory’s political, economic, and social development. He shows how a few powerful men brewed a concoction of racism, cronyism, corruption, and partisan politics that poisoned New Mexicans’ efforts to join the Union. Drawing on extensive Spanish-language and archival sources, the author also explores the consequences that the drive to become a state had for New Mexico’s Euro-American, Nuevomexicano, American Indian, African American, and Asian communities. Holtby offers a compelling story that shows why and how home rule mattered—then and now—for New Mexicans and for all Americans.
