Koch Brothers gave money to GOP NM Gov. Martinez

koch Industries, the company whose owners are among the richest men in the world, donated $10,000 to Martinez. The Koch brothers have made headlines this year for their backing of the Tea Party movement as well as other libertarian and conservative causes.

Gov. Susana Martinez today proposed cutting 1.5 percent from the education "bureaucracy," eliminating $25 million in yearly subsidies to the film industry and reducing funding for colleges and universities.

1. The Koch brothers are despicable, while Susana Martinez is merely...um...despicable

Great rally at the Roundhouse Tuesday; loved Sen. Cisco McSorley's "to hell with them" at the end of his short , fiery speech.
