SANTA FE, N.M. -- Republican Gov. Susana Martinez torpedoed a $128 million tax increase on businesses Friday but allowed reductions in unemployment benefits to go into law.

....Among the vetoes on Friday were bills to:

....Prohibit the state's child welfare agency from having staff or volunteers handle allegations of child abuse and neglect if they've ever been investigated for abusing a child and had the case against them substantiated. The measure also streamlines the processing for firing an agency worker who is found to have abused a child. FULL STORY

Since they abuse every child they touch, that ought to clean them out nicely.
