Re: the editorial of May 4, "Chalk up another one for the gov":

Calling names and advocating spending $4 million for a visitor's center at the Four Corners site seems silly. If we are, as the editorial states, lacking in teacher pay and telephone service, how can spending $4 million help?

Ridiculing the governor for trying to balance the budget is also silly. I don't understand how $4 million could be spent on a point in the dirt. I know some people who visit this area already will take time to visit this point, but to infer that spending $4 million there will bring more tourists to Farmington is a stretch.
