For­mer prime min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley says PNM Chair­man Mar­vin Gon­za­les spoke “in­el­e­gant­ly” and may have mis­rep­re­sent­ed the dis­cus­sions that took place in Cab­i­net re­gard­ing the com­po­si­tion of state boards.

Gon­za­les shocked and an­gered many in the pub­lic do­main when he voiced his con­cerns about what he de­scribed as an im­bal­anced eth­nic and racial com­po­si­tion among the new­ly ap­point­ed State boards un­der the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) Gov­ern­ment.

“When I look at it, I won­der if we’re liv­ing in Bangladesh or Del­hi,” Gon­za­les blunt­ly de­clared last week.
