Closing arguments set for Anaya trial State rests its case after questioning on capture of slaying suspect By Nico Roesler The New Mexican

After the second day of testimony in what was scheduled to be a weeklong trial, the state on Wednesday rested

Arthur Anaya

its double-murder case against Arthur Anaya. Anaya’s lawyers also rested their case without calling any witnesses. Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday before the jury begins deliberations. The focus of Wednesday’s testimony was the events leading up to the January 2012 capture of Anaya, four days after the 54-year-old Santa Fe man allegedly shot to death Austin Urban,

16, and Theresa Vigil, 51, in a confrontation over a $100 late rent payment. A 91-year-old woman living off West Old Agua Fría Road, just south of Interstate 25, called 911 to report that a motorcycle was parked outside an abandoned trailer on her property. Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputies who went to the site soon realized that the police

Contentious debate, few answers on Lamy eatery At meeting on future of Legal Tender, museum president says he’s looking for new management By Tom Sharpe The New Mexican

The Legal Tender Restaurant and Saloon appears to be going out with a bang with a Memorial Day blowout. About 70 Lamy-area residents showed up on the patio of the historic building, across the street from the Lamy train station, on Wednesday evening to argue about who is at fault for the demise of the community watering hole, live music venue and popular eatery. Ed Pietras, president of the Lamy Railroad & History Museum, began by telling the group that he is looking for new management for the restaurant. Pietras said the museum’s board has reached an impasse with John and Cindy Jednak, who ran the restaurant in a part of the museum’s building until recently. The Jednaks decided to close down the restaurant after the museum board declined to accept their proposal to put a cap on the amount they pay the museum for their space, Pietras said. But even before Pietras finished his presentation, some of those in the audience began shouting him down and questioning why the Jednaks’ proposal was turned down.

CEO pay has been going in one direction for the past three years: up. The head of a typical large public company made $9.7 million in 2012, a 6.5 percent increase from a year earlier that was aided by a rising stock market, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm. CEO pay, which fell two years straight during the Great Recession but rose 24 percent in 2010 and 6 percent in 2011, has never been higher. Companies say they need to pay CEOs well so they can attract the best

talent, and that this is ultimately in the interest of shareholders. But shareholder activists and some corporate governance experts say many CEOs are being paid far above what is reasonable or what their performance merits. Pay for all U.S. workers rose 1.1 percent in 2010, 1.2 percent in 2011 and 1.6 percent last year — not enough to keep up with inflation. The median wage in the U.S. was about $39,900 in 2012, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. After years of pressure from corporate governance activists unhappy about big payouts, many companies
