Preserving a prison’s past Senate FISCAL CRISIS

‘Old Main’ tours resume with emphasis on history, not ‘ghost stories’

leaders: Deal may be near

Lawmakers cite progress, warn of uncertainty as time ebbs By David Espo

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Racing the clock, the Senate’s Democratic and Republican leaders closed in on a deal Monday night to avoid an economymenacing Treasury default and end the two-week partial government shutdown. “We’ve made tremendous progress,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared after an intense day of negotiations with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and other lawmakers. “Perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day,” he said, suggesting agreement could be announced soon after weeks of stubborn gridlock. McConnell also voiced optimism — although not as much as Reid, D-Nev., had — and the details under discussion generated little if any satisfaction among rebellious House conservatives.

Because Marcantel is studying how to use the old prison in the future, including as a possible place of interest for tourists and other visitors, officials are seeking feedback from people taking the latest round of tours that began this month. On Oct. 25, the Corrections Department will offer free tours to riot survivors, first responders, community and religious leaders, and others

directly related to the tragedy to hear their ideas. “Each person who responded to the riot or had a part in the department at that time has a perspective on what happened, and we want to hear that perspective,” Marcantel said. “We’re asking for help to put out the message.” Some invitations already have gone out for the Oct. 25 tours. But those who had a part in the riot, even as inmates, and who have not received invitations and would like to attend can

Former Gov. Bill Richardson says it’s his fault that his relationship with former President Bill Clinton is broken beyond repair. Richardson made his remarks about his former benefactor in an interview on CBS to promote his latest book, How to Sweet-Talk a Shark: Strategies and Stories from a Master Negotiator, released this week. “I made the mistake of accepting him coming to Santa Fe to talk to me and watch the [2008] Super Bowl,” said Richardson, who served as a United Nations ambassador and Department of Energy secretary in Clinton’s second term. “He wanted an endorsement for Hillary Clinton. I was very loyal to President Clinton. I would have endorsed him if he was running. But it wasn’t him,” the former governor said. Clinton came to Santa Fe to court Richardson’s sup-

Time Out B-11

Just weeks before the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government sued Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration for withholding a controversial audit report, the chairwoman of the foundation’s executive board was pitching the idea of giving Martinez — as well as Attorney General Gary King — an award for government transparency. This is documented in emails released to The New Mexican by Terry Schleder, who recently was ousted as executive director of the organization for alleged “insubordination.” Schleder expressed concerns over a conservative tilt on the FOG executive board and called the awards discussion an example of FOG being too concerned with “protecting the powerful.” FOG — a nonprofit group made up of journalists, lawyers, business owners and others — was
