From The Santa Fe New Mexican:

Among those caught in Revenue Commissioner Johnny Walker's drive to get all the taxes from everybody as demanded by The New Mexican was — you guessed it — The New Mexican.

"After all," commented General Manager Emory Bahr, "we asked for it."


July 5, 1984: Santa Fe County's unemployment rate dropped .5 percent between April and May to a record low 4.5 percent — the lowest rate since the state began keeping such statistics in 1970.
