Grant County Commission work session 022321, part 4
[Editor's Note: Because of the length of the work session on Feb. 23, 2021, the coverage has been broken into a multi-part series of articles. This is the final article, part 4. It begins with the last presentation on the NM CAP Entity.]
By Mary Alice Murphy
The last presentation at the Grant County Commission second work session of the month on Feb. 23, 2021 was presented by New Mexico Central Arizona Project Entity Executive Director Anthony Gutierrez.
He called from his car. "I'm on the road. I want to give you a brief update on the CAP Entity. We are discussing additional amendments to the joint-powers agreement with the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission. It would remove a lot of the New Mexico Unit language, [which was put into place, originally at the request of the ISC.] Our actions might be in vain, because of a bill that Rep. Matthew McQueen put forward that has already passed two House committees and is slated to go to the House Floor. The bill would send the New Mexico Unit Fund money to the Water Trust Board. The speaker of the House has requested to remove all funding from the CAP Entity."
