In recent news, A former New Mexico Motor Vehicles Division employee has been indicted after being accused of issuing false driver's licenses. He is accused of issuing two false driver's licenses and tampering with a public record while employed at the MVD. The allegations arose from an internal investigation by the Taxation and Revenue Department's Tax Fraud Investigations Division into a questionable title transaction. The MVD is a division of the tax department. How do you think this person should be punished if he is found guilty? Also, do you think that the MVD should be better equipped to avoid situations like this from happening again? Please answer in a short paragraph.

In recent news, Bernalillo County Residents were asked to vote on a very interesting issue. The issue.....turning Albuquerque's South Valley into a separate city. This city would be called Valle De Atrisco. Residents voted on January 5th 2010. With all 44 precincts counted, unofficial results of Tuesday's election showed more than 93 percent of the voters rejected the idea of a new Bernalillo County community called Valle de Atrisco. Supporters argued that a separate community would give the area more control over its future. Opponents questioned how much revenue a new community could raise toward the cost of operating government services.
Valle de Atrisco would have been New Mexico's fifth-largest city, with a population of about 53,000. My question to you is: What do you think should have happened with this issue? Should we have created a new community? Or would this really affect people in the south valley in a major way? Please answer in a short paragraph.
