I am a writer. I love the Rocky Mountain West. For more than 50 years my primary residence has been in the upper basin of the Rio Grande.

Drought Cycle Is Not Something You Ride Around Moab

Ed Abbey somehow has made his way to Heaven

Larry Joseph Calloway May 14, 2003

Another four years of this and Lake Powell could be a mud puddle? Surely the Bureau of Reclamation will think of something. Right?

How Urban Sprawl Makes Democrats Look Like Republicans

Political warming in the post-Dendahl era

Larry Joseph Calloway May 12, 2003

In the post-Dendahl era of political warming, the Democrats and Republicans may be dropping all pretense that they are polarized on environmental and business issues.

Checkout Questions: Paper or Plastic? Exemption or Rebate?

Exemption or Rebate? The Blue Ribbon Commission Has Guys on Both Sides

Larry Joseph Calloway May 3, 2003

Low Income Comprehensive Tax Rebate? Apparently nobody understands it except people with a lot of time on their hands. Like prisoners.

Texas And New Mexico Take The High Ground For A Change

Larry Joseph Calloway April 5, 2003

He’s the nation’s highest ex-governor, but he’s shunning publicity on this one, especially the cost. A fragmentary report on Gary Johnson at Everest Base Camp. Will he summit? Will the Texans?

Sun Tsu Would Be Shocked

The

Larry Joseph Calloway March 31, 2003

How To Have An Open Meeting Without Disclosing Anything

Taking the media for a ride

Richardson To Face New Mexico Voters Again

School reform, trust funds, and the

Larry Joseph Calloway March 19, 2003

One of the perils of being Gov. Bill Richardson is the net of side issues that can tangle his school reform agenda, which will depend upon voter ratification of constitutional amendments. But if the money doesn’t come through, there’s always the “war premium.”

Legislative Retirement Math: 20 X 0 = $20,000

They work hard, but not hard enough on the actuarials

Larry Joseph Calloway March 17, 2003
