Lee S. says: "She's a big liar, who is probably a Tea Party puppet!"

Sue Arnold says: "Another lawsuit 8/23: SANTA FE — A national civil rights group will file a lawsuit today against Gov. Susana Martinez's administration, claiming it unlawfully has tried to force 10,000 people to verify their residency. The suit is being bought by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund. The organization said it is filing the case in state court on behalf of certain New Mexico legislators and residents. Martinez, an ardent opponent of a state law that allows illegal immigrants to obtain New Mexico driver's licenses, this summer authorized a residency verification program aimed at foreign nationals. The state Taxation and Revenue Department sent letters to 10,000 people. It instructed them to travel in person to Albuquerque or Las Cruces to verify their residency. Though New Mexico issues driver's licenses without requiring proof of immigration status, applicants must live in the state. Martinez said fraud has been a persistent problem in the licensing program. Illegal immigrants from from as far away as Chicago have been arrested while trying to obtain New Mexico driver's licenses. MALDEF executives say Martinez's Residency Certification Program "singles out a specific class of individuals for an onerous and wasteful exercise of state resources." The organization also said the program was never considered or authorized by the state Legislature. Martinez, a Republican, initiated the residency checks as a executive decision, authorizing $49,000 for a call Advertisement center to handle questions and setting up verification centers in New Mexico's two largest cities. She said the money came from Motor Vehicle Division's budget. Executives of MALDEF would not say which legislators are suing, but all are Democrats. Republican lawmakers solidly support Martinez on the verification program and her push to repeal the licensing law. Legislators who are party to the lawsuit are to appear at a news conference this afternoon at the State Capitol. Martinez lost her attempt last winter to repeal the law enabling illegal immigrants to receive driver's licenses. Republicans will try again in a special legislative session that starts Sept. 6. —— Santa Fe Bureau Chief Milan Simonich can be contacted at msimonich@tnmnp.com or 505-820-6898.

Mona D says: "I hope everyone who DID vote for her sees how that vote went to nothing but an ignorant, evil, lazy eyed botched prosecutor who is as intelligent as a potato!"

Francisco says: "It will be an interesting Special Session, here is a person who will be a truly dull light trying to influence something she know nothing about! Redistricting is very important and well, Susana's addition of fireworks and Illegals with driver's liscenses are not in that category, talk about a waste of time and tax payer money! She just doesn't get it! She was supposed to "take waste out of Government"? Hummmmm..."

MexicanoDemocrat says: "I cant believe that vendida is still trying to mess with our mexican raza after all she has looks hardcore mexican! what a sell out it upsets me she is tryin to hurt our own raza leave them alone they do not do a thing to you. God forbid you ruin this state and turn it into another arizona because you will destroy it and leave it broke. Impeachment time has arrived just tell me where to sign."

Delilah Montoya says: "Susanna, we have one of the finest universities in the country. Yet your refuse to hirer a New Mexican into a state funded job. Instead you have opened the doors to carpet baggers. Is this because you have no respect for New Mexico, the New Mexican and our resources?"

Joseph says: "its time to impeach/recall "

Dee L. says: "Sadly, the media doesn't report Susana's "pay to play" corruption. The new RLD (Regulation and Licensing Department) was/is (put his company in his sons name) a contractor (those that despise RLD and regulations), but because he was a big contributor, he is now in charge of RLD! He also has sent out e-mails forbidding RLD employees to talk to the media, why? This is similar to a vampire in charge of a blood bank! "

Ex-Republican says: "Palin-endorsed??? WTH!!!!"

Morgaine says: "What did everyone expect? Looking forward to impeachment, if someone has the guts to pursue it. Meanwhile, I'm heading back to California reducing your tax base by a few. "

Andy says: "I'm still trying to figure out what she has accomplished to date? Jobs? (NO)... Cronies? (YES).. "

Clara says: "Susana promised to improve schools and so far all she seems to be concerned with is taking money away from the schools through audits. She hired a secretary of education from California and they run their public schools system like that of a third world nation."

Patrick says: "Suzanne Martines needs to stop wasting our tax dollars to travel city to city to sign bills. Why can't she it do it in the comfort of her Santa Fe office? Or did she finally find a use for that jet Richardson used?"

Michelle Rose says: "I don't understand why she keeps wanting people that are under-qualified or not qualified for high ranking positions in New Mexico. Gov Martinez, what are you doing? I just don't understand."

Marcos says: "We cannot stand and let La Tejana do this to us. Remove Darren White from the Judicial Standards Commission!"

Judy McKenzie says: "I did not vote for her and I wish noone else did. The future of NM is dismal at best with her at the helm. Seriously, can we impeach her quickly before we are all with no future?"

Drew VahnBrun says: "Contact GOVERNOR MARTINEZ, and ask her to KEEP HER WORD on the STUDY OF FILM INCENTIVES BEFORE ANY CHANGES ARE MADE. Her number is 505-476-2200. Thank you. "

Olgateresa Gonzalez Baigas says: "I am outraged at Susana Martinez's governorship. Susana, you are paid for by outside interests...you are playing the Spanish card to get the people to vote for you...you are a Republican playing card...you will ruin this state...I am so ashamed of you..you are against environmental rights, educational rights, woman's rights, poor people's rights...you are not a governor...you did not earn this position..you were bought and paid for by out of state interests...are you not ashamed? You soy mas Hispana que tu...Tu no tienes nada que hacer con los hispanos mismos que viven aqui in Neuvo Mexico..que descaro!!! Que insulto..basta...vetate...Recall this bad woman."

bARbara says: "She has the power to declare war on "we the people" and is."

George says: "Why does she keep repeating the same rhetoric regarding the welfare of Education and Children?? She is using this to manipulate the people of NM. Doesn't she have children of her own???"

Norma Stitz says: "Hanna Skandera? We'd be better off with Hannah Montana. Blech."

kyle hutzen says: "next she cut s job killing regs. i dont trust her with my tax money ."

Bob says: "IMPEACH HER!"

Gary Nelson says: "Hey governor, I saw you appointed two people as Judges for the Third Judicial District and they were both from New Mexico. What happened, couldn't you find someone from outside the state to appoint?"

Esperanza Varela says: "I did not vote for you , but I realized what a mistake our people committed when you announced a Floridian to run our educational system. People Wake Up She is not about New Mexico and helping to create new Jobs!!!! She is about Helping the Republican Partyy and paying back the big favors she now owes for their support."

G. Quintana says: "You left New Mexicans out in the cold... literally."

Patrick says: "Susana promised she would end corruption in this state, of NM. However, if she falls through that ends rights that we as Americans have. Leave it to individuals and companies not the government!"

Myron Benally Jr. says: "On January 31, 2011 Governor Martinez signed an executive order rescinding sanctuary status for illegal immigrants who commit crimes in New Mexico. Shame shame shame. We shouldn't be standing with the nutjobs in Arizona. Were better than Jan Brewer and her cronies "

Jan Whitebear says: "She's not going to be happy until she turns New Mexico into another Arizona! GOD FORBID!!"

Ray Today says: "As the chief state official, the Governor failed miserably in the gas & electric shortages this winter. She should have been more insightful into the dirty tricks that Texas uses to extort energy, water, whatever: since she is a GTT herself. We have been duped by a Texan!"

John Rider says: "What about all the official take home cars??? You said you would cut something like 800, but only 67 or so were cut... and then you ever took on 670 new ones. Yep. LMAO."

Richard Martinez. says: "Susana... This phony, ENRON STYLE, natural gas shortage just happened as soon as you got into office. Great propaganda for the Texas Oil and Gas industry who paid for your election to brainwash us New Mexicans into 'Drill Baby Drill. No wonder your initials are S & M. We have NEVER had such a pressure shortage in the modern history in this state. What a crock. Paid for by BIG OIL."

Tom Joad says: "Take care of the environment!"

Elle says: "I think it's perfectly fine to be able to determine environmental policy without a background in the subject. After all, I watch Law and Order so I can be a lawyer now, just like our governor!"

N.Marie Telles says: "I can't believe this woman, she isn't worried about the State, she is worried about Breaking all the promises she made...Wrong move SM...when you speed, you just may get a ticket, she's going way too fast!!"

Dena Spohn says: "The first reason I didn't vote for you is that you accepted the endorsement of Sarah Palin who I consider to be a rightwing nightmare. I am an environmentalist and I knew you would go right along with those anti-environment Texans who put the worst President we have ever had (in my opinion) in office for 8 years. My second reason is that you took money from the people who funded the Swiftboat Veterans who prevented my favorite politician, John Kerry, from becoming President. I have zero respect for you."

Mike Kitts says: "Why, Governor Martrinez, are you trying to kill off the Entertainment Industry in New Mexico? Who is paying you to do so?"

Ana Chavez says: "The film industry is a 1.2 BILLION dollar industry for NM. Susanna, are you out of it that you can't see that this will help the state budget. PS, I didn't vote for you either. Oh by, the way, climate change is a reality, even though you "don't believe in science." "
