Heroes commend the Rio Rancho Regional Chamber of Commerce for recognizing fifty one golf teams that competed Friday. The event showcased local clubs and players with positive community support and sportsmanship.
Bill Kime of Rio Rancho questions the Jimenez settlement cost and a business friendly plan by Councilor Wilkins. He challenges the 47 000 dollar nine month replacement search, the vacant assistant city attorney position, and a two year impact fee moratorium costing about 1 450 000 dollars. He demands evidence for promised tax gains and questions proposed rollbacks to regulation. He argues for measured regulation and fiscal proof over a purely business focus.
Bonnie J. Allison asks which councilor will lead efforts to clean up right of way properties. She faults Councilman Scott for suggesting signs, cites inaction on weeds at 407 East Lake, notes Crum’s response, and urges collaboration with public works and code enforcement to address weeds, trash, and dead trees. She calls for legislative action.
William Lowen criticizes the Rio Rancho TEA Party and Dawna Robinson for pushing to limit entitlements for younger residents while party members benefit from Social Security Medicare pensions and veterans benefits.
