Gov. Martinez also stressed the importance of education in making the state more competitive.
On that theme, Martinez was treated to a story written and read by first-grader Jamal Witter of Bel-Air Elementary School in Albuquerque. He is part of the Albuquerque Reads program, organized by the chamber, in which community members spend time every week reading to a student.
While the governor ignored an offered chair to sit cross-legged on the stage’s floor, Jamal took the mike and read his book to her and the hundreds in attendance in a clear voice.
The book’s title was “The Governor Rocks.” Read more $65M In Programs Sought by Governor from the Friday Albuquerque Journal.
