Article by Mary Alice Murphy
Following two presentations at the April 23, 2024 Grant County Commission special meeting, people were invited to testify on the Grant County Fire and Emergency Services Administrative Ordinance O-24-01. An ordinance providing for the administration of the County Fire Department.
Tom Wyatt (spelling?) of the Sapillo Volunteer Fire Department, after being sworn in by District 1 Commissioner and Chair Chris Ponce, identified himself and said he had lived in the Lake Roberts area for the past four years. "I joined the volunteer fire department after they recruited me. I'm 77 with a bad knee, but I am trying to be beneficial in what they said they needed."

Of concern to the Journal was the 2020 Census in which New Mexico barely kept the 3 House Congressional districts and five Electoral College votes that it has because of the lack of population.
