lieutenant governor would have to break a tie in favor of a tax increase. Demo senators jockeyed until the tie was created, only to be astonished by Stahl’s announcement that the Senate had made his day. Stahl voted against the governor’s proposal.But Casey stuck with Bruce, and it may have cost the Belen car dealer some business. On at least one occa-sion, the lieutenant governor read letters from customers who threatened to withdraw their business if Luna voted the wrong way.Luna wonders what this year’s sales figures for his well-publicized Ford dealership will show. He was pleased when he noticed following his successful 1990 campaign for office that he had sold cars to customers from 26 different counties in New Mexico — up two; from the year before.He was even more pleased ’ when he sold cars to people from 30 different counties in 1991. He’s wondering if that * figure will head back down' after such a controversial-session.Luna also decided to check whether his sales success had anything to do with his political success. Sure enough, the three counties where he sold no cars last year were three of the seven counties he and King lost in the 1990 general election.It looks like Luna will have: twice the reason to work those; three counties very hard': before he runs again in 1994. -OK, so you won’t vote for. me. How about a good deal on a quality new car from Casey Luna Ford in Belen?
