By wide margins, Republican incumbent Gov. Susana Martinez continued to raise and spend more campaign money than all of her would-be Democratic opponents, according to the finance reports filed Monday with the Secretary of State’s Office. In the second round of reports for Susana Martinez this primary season, Martinez said she had raised more than $561,500 since early April.

Private firm cites worries about time constraints Atlantic Education Partners, a private, for-profit firm based in Florida, has withdrawn its proposal to operate a dropout recovery program for Santa Fe Public Schools. The company sent a letter to Superintendent Joel Boyd on Monday stating that delays in signing the contract for starting the Engage Santa Fe program are “less than optimal … we believe that the very real time constraints now confronting us would seriously impair the programmatic design of our work.” The school board voted 4-1 last month to approve a contract between the district and Atlantic Education Partners that would use state and federal per-pupil funding to run Engage Santa Fe, which was designed to bring 75 to 100 dropouts

arilyn Haring and Kathy Chambery — who were married on Monday — were advocates for equal rights long before they became the 1,000th same-sex couple to obtain a marriage license at the Santa Fe County Clerk’s Office last week. Before retiring to Santa Fe in 2007, Chambery, now 69, worked as director of affirmative action at the University of Massachusetts. And Haring, now 72, was dean of education at Purdue University, where the percentage of women faculty in her department increased from 33 percent to 53 percent during her tenure. “When you have a stage, you need to use it to support causes that are inclusive of everyone,” Haring said, stressing that all the women hired under her watch were the most qualified candidates for the job. “We aren’t trying to exclude men. We just want to include everyone.”

The couple — who have been in a committed relationship for 23 years — said they’d worked with a lawyer over the years to protect each other’s interests in end-of-life issues such as visitation and inheritance. But when Santa Fe County began recognizing same sexmarriage in August, they wanted to make their relationship official. One legal right they look forward to availing themselves of: the right to file their taxes jointly. “We’ve left thousands of dollars on the table at the IRS with hav-

But, when staff at the Clerk’s Office confirmed Haring and
