To the Editor:

In just three short months as governor, Martinez has now twice been judged to have violated the constitution of our state. First the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled against her when she attempted to prevent the implementation of both a rule aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions and a measure which would control pollution from the dairy industry. Now the Court has ordered that two members of the Public Employee Labor Relations Board be reinstated, declaring her arbitrary removal of them to be an unconstitutional abuse of her authority. It is troubling to find a former D.A. acting with such disrespect for the law.
