Copied from the Clovis (NM) News Journal :
We don’t know who wears the pants in Sen. Bill Sharer’s family, but we do know the Farmington Republican wasn’t wearing any when the Senate convened Tuesday.
Sharer wore a tuxedo kilt that he said as a reminder to his fellow legislators to go easy on the spending.
“The Scots are world renown for being frugal,” he said in a news release Tuesday. “In our current economic situation, ‘frugal’ should be the watchword of our session.” He promised to wear the kilt occasionally in the days to come to remind lawmakers of the need for frugality.
Senate Chief Clerk Lenore Naranjo said Sharer’s tuxedo kilt complies with the Senate rule requiring a jacket and tie to enter the Senate Chambers.
