In February, 2006, I cited the famous quote from boxer Roberto Duran (when he quit in the 8th round of his rematch with Sugar Ray Leonard in 1980), suggesting that our mayor, Bobby Duran, give it a rest.
Duran failed to heed my advice and won a 20-vote victory that month over Gene Sanchez, giving him his first full term as Taos mayor.
Now Bobby has taken up the notion and announced he is quitting. "No mas!"
He has enjoyed being quoted saying that he always said he would stay in politics here as long as it was "fun, challenging, and I enjoy the people I'm working with--now two out of three are missing". I guess he's still challenged.
