The author has a curious background. He left his role as a cabinet secretary after a report found that his department misspent 250 million dollars. The governor issued a press release that said he was leaving but didn't say why. And then afterwards he claimed it wasn't related to the financial scandal, it was because he was getting so many miscellaneous death threats? https://www.lcsun-news.com/story/news/local/new-mexico/2021/04/16/new-mexico-workforce-solutions-secretary-bill-mccamley-steps-down/7256638002/ https://www.lcsun-news.com/story/news/local/new-mexico/2021/... https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/former-new-mexico-cabinet-secretary-says-threats-safety-concerns-prompted-departure/article_c463a782-b99d-11eb-aeb9-cb7cab76bf69.html https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/former-new... It sounds to me like he got fired due to scandal but they agreed to make it a "no comment" sort of thing instead. It looks like he is out of politics now, which explains why he is cryptically starting over his career as a bartender. Well, anyway, I hope he finds a better job.

On the other hand, sometimes you just have to do what feels right. I quit tech to work in a cafe, and you could definitely paint my story as failing to make it in tech. But from my perspective I was just tired of burning out pouring my heart into something that doesn’t care at all about me. Some of his comments in the article re: getting stressed about policy he has no control over makes me think he was having a bad time as well. At the very least, knowing how politicians are and how this man writes, there surely must have been a disconnect between him and many of his peers.

Do you think the governor should have said "He's leaving because the great citizens of this state who elected me are threatening to kill this man and his family?" I would leave that job too.
