Rio Rancho observers criticize local support for a five day Pro Golf Tour event at Rio Rancho Golf and Country Club. Fewer than 2000 residents attended and the town failed to back the tournament or promote it, a missed chance to boost the city and aid the Association of Retarded Citizens.
The article argues that rising temperatures and droughts make the greenhouse effect a present reality. It cites NASA experts, notes record warmth, and warns of climate shifts, melting ice, rising oceans, and stressed water and energy supplies. It advocates reducing fluorocarbons auto emissions and fossil fuel use, forest protection, and expanding solar and nuclear power.
The piece argues Amendment 3 would raise the head of family exemption from 200 to 2000 dollars in phases through 1993, with projected impacts on property tax bases, revenues, and local governments. It cites figures on current beneficiaries, regional distribution, and potential shifts to nonresidents, renters, and oil/gas sectors, plus a pro and con briefing from the Legislative Council Service.
Local survey asks if residents attended the ProGolf Tour event at Rio Rancho. Responses vary from viewing on TV and in papers due to weekend work, to missing it while traveling for other tournaments in Roswell Clovis or driving in from out of town.
