Roswell police report a scam in which callers impersonate the U S Marshal Service from the local federal building and claim an arrest warrant for the victim or a family member. The fraud aims to extract money for fines or court costs and may demand a callback to the scammer. Residents are advised to stay vigilant.
State officials warn of lower revenue as New Mexico braces for tighter finances. Education chief Skandera proposes a 2.6 billion budget preserving per-student funding, extending school hours for 20 000 struggling students, and maintaining early childhood programs while cutting 4.5 million aimed at improving teacher and principal performance and math instruction. Lawmakers weigh a charter moratorium and district mergers as a 60 day session nears.
City officials debated how to pay for a planned recreation and aquatic facility with options including a gross receipts tax or a general obligation bond. Some councilors warned a GRT would spread costs to visitors, while an OB would fall on property owners. The approved plan in initial schematic design includes a 3,750 square foot indoor pool with six lanes.
The plan includes an outdoor large tube slide and a toddler area with shaded structures plus an outdoor splash pad. Officials note two other designs: indoor elements or a mix with an outdoor splash pad. Mayor Kintigh says a January vote could advertise an ordinance to raise the gross receipts tax to fund the pool and 38,645 square foot recreation center. The council hasn’t set final pool sizes or the rec center design, and they aim to balance ambition with fiscal responsibility.
The record captures John Glenn’s career from NASA Mercury 7 selection in 1959 to orbiting Earth in 1962 at age 40 and later serving in the U S Senate from Ohio. It notes his 1998 space flight at 77, his status as oldest space traveler, his long marriage, and schools and an airport named in his honor.
