New Mexico Eco-Left Land Commissioner a Super Hero for Self-Promotion

September 27, 2021

New Mexico State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard is proud of her eco-left stance. In fact, you could say she sees herself as nothing short of a hero.

When she first came into office, Garcia Richard made sure to spend taxpayer dollars on a children’s coloring book that, as it turns out, looks an awful lot like a self-promoting campaign tool. Now, she’s being called out for it.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reported on one grandmother who picked up the coloring book and instead of sending it to her grandson, sent it to the newspaper instead:

“It annoyed me,” the grandmother said. “What you get is a distraction from the information by the representation of her on every page.”

The woman didn’t bother giving the coloring book to her grandson. She mailed her copy to The New Mexican after writing a note on the cover: “Misuse of state funds!!”

Garcia Richard, who was suddenly unavailable for an interview, said through a spokesperson that the coloring book is no big deal because it’s “silly.”

Add Garcia Richard to the long list of politicians who say they want to get rid of the fossil fuel industry, but yet have no problem spending the money it generates in outrageous fashion.
