We told you so and made the effort to put protections in place for Otero County residents via an ordinance. We are vindicated by this interview. Some people call it redistribution. I call it theft.

This summer the Otero County Commission passed an ordinance, 10-07 Verifiable Science. http://www.co.otero.nm.us/
The original version was rejected by Commissioner Moore as having too strong language. It was toned down to be acceptable.
Bottom line is that now Otero County has a valuable tool to reject any proposal whose science is not verifiable. Think: designation of Otero Mesa as a National Monument, FEMA County Flood Ordinance (watch Tularosa on this one), continued threats to list Checkerspot Butterfly, recycling "hubs and spokes" initially financed by Stimulus Funds, predator management and just about any other issue before the commissioners.
I bring this to your attention so that you know there is a way to maintain and protect our customs and culture, using our intellectual and natural resources in a beneficial and sustainable manner.
We have the U.S. Constitution, the New Mexico Constitution and now the Verifiable Science Ordinance. When you have or create fire breaks, use them. The alternative is to watch your county smothered under regulations, executive orders, corruption and incompetence.

Besides attending the Commissioners' Canvass of Votes meeting on Monday, I attended the work session and Grazing Advisory Board meetings.
Robyn Holmes, Otero County Clerk heard my two suggestions/requests. One, that mailing labels sold by the county to candidates include a second line "Or Current Resident" to avoid a waste of money and time on the part of candidates and P.O.
Two, that Otero County website on the Clerk's department include the numbers for those voting straight party ticket. This is done in other counties and Ms. Holmes said she thought that information was being posted. She/Ray Backstrom, county manager, agreed to correct this deficiency.
At the work session on Wednesday, the County agreed unanimously to lease 25 acreas adjacent to the prison facility to a solar power generating concern. There will be a public hearing on the creation of an Otero County Environmental Department at the regular meeting on the 30th.
The Grazing Advisory Board was most interesting. Until you witness the interaction between the feds, state, county government and constituents, you just haven't experienced politics. Never let it be said that good politics is not local.

COUNTY COMMISSION DIST 1
L.C. MARSHALL (D) 1,266 27.05%
TOMMIE C. HERRELL (R) 1,969 42.06%
JANET T. WHITE 1,446 30.89%

I attended the Otero County Commission Canvass of Votes meeting this week. The numbers above may change only a miniscule amount due to some provisional ballots that were counted and the addition of several military absentee ballots.
At the meeting I made two suggestions to the Clerk:
One, that straight ticket votes be published on the Clerk's page as it is in other counties. This was agreed to.
Two, that mailing labels sold by the county to candidates include a second line "Or Current Resident" so that campaign materials end up somewhere instead of being routed back through the post office to the candidate. Robyn Holmes agreed with my suggestion.
