We're still putting together Bill Richardson's page, but here is a quick list of the issues we're going to include:
- Speeding Tickets Quotes"You are driving too fast, which makes you a danger on the New Mexican highways and a wasteful guzzler of energy." - -Ralph Nader "Sometimes I have gone fast, too fast." -- Bill Richardson
"I'm not going to stand here and say we'll never speed again. There may be exceptional circumstances. But we are going to slow down." -- Bill Richardson
Richardson has taken a lot of flack in the New Mexico press for having his entourage (2 or 3 SUV's) take advantage of their police escort to cruise the highways at over 100 mph so he can get to meetings faster, or maybe just because it's fun. He has even had Ralph Nader publicly lecture him for it. Critics see this as a sign of arrogance, but frankly it makes me want to like the guy. Then again, I've gotten a few tickets myself....
