The following is the message I sent to District 3 County Commissioner Karen Perez asking her to vote "no" on the measure.
Dear Ms. Perez:
I urge you to vote no on the proposed rezoning of
the 37.1 acres across from Tortugas Mountain. As an everyday hiker around the
mountain I fear that allowing this zoning change will only open the floodgates
to further detrimental development in the area.
Additonally, as one who is sympathetic to issues
concerning Native Americans, I can imagine the disgust that will be felt by
members of the local pueblo, who, on beginning and ending their annual
pilgrimmage to the top of the mountain must pass by one of Anglo-America's
greatest symbols of entrepreneurial success: the golden arches
of McDonald's.
Thank you for your time and
consideration.
Sinerely,
Robert Rowley

Packrat: I'll bet you're glad that Kali and I decided on Colorado instead of Las Cruces--two fewer Yankees to add to the sprawl at the base of Tortugas. Good luck.
You and Kali would have been more than welcome here, Scott.
FYI: the Extra-Territorial Zoning Authority has voted against the commercial rezoning for right now; but I won't hold my breath that the decision will hold.
