Small semi rolls near Hurley

By Roger Lanse

About 9:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 23, 2019, a small semi with trailer transporting some form of medical equipment or waste overturned on Highway 180 near the Grant County Airport Road. The vehicle and trailer, from Estrategy, Inc. in Albuquerque, according to Lt. Delvin Castillo of the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, flipped and landed on the east shoulder of the roadway. The company performs medical waste collecting, treatment, and disposal, according to their website. Cause of the accident was speed and inattention, Castillo stated.

The driver, Israel Rodriguez-Venegas, 25, of Albuquerque, was shaken but sustained only minor injuries. Originally, Native Air was placed on standby but was not needed.

American Legion Post 18 hosts Veterans Townhall with NM Department of Veterans Services 120519

By Mary Alice Murphy

The evening of December 5, 2019, New Mexico Department of Veterans Services Cabinet Secretary Judy Griego, who has been in the position since January, visited the American Legion Post 18 Hall for a veterans' town hall.

"I took a good look at the department," Griego said. "In spite of the 60-day session, within three months I found that first, we weren't doing enough for veterans. Second, I discovered we have a dedicated staff, most of whom are veterans themselves. They're doing it to make a difference for veterans. And third, the size of the department is small. We have 59 people to cover 33 counties. We have personnel to cover public relations, support staff and auditors. We have only 17 veteran service officers throughout the state to work with the 157,000 veterans we have in New Mexico. My funding comes from the Legislature, and I have to show them where I spend it. Fifty-nine people does not do justice for our veterans. I want to hear some recommendations from you."

Silver City-Grant County Chamber of Commerce hears Dow at lunch meeting 120519

rebecca dow By Mary Alice Murphy

"I am keenly aware of how government regulations impact businesses with the processes they have to go through," New Mexico District 38 Rep. Rebecca Dow told Silver City-Grant County Chamber of Commerce members and guests at the monthly luncheon on Dec. 5, 2019.

Dow said when legislators pass policy, businesses are not always made aware of the costs. "There is a major divide between rural and urban businesses. I am starting a rural caucus in the House to address rural issues. I can tell you that the House Education Bill that passed last session, I am one of eight on the committee, created items that benefit Albuquerque schools, but negatively impact rural schools."
