Manzano Mountain Gun Club Message from Kathleen Clute:

The October meeting of the Manzano Mountain Gun Club will take place this Thursday evening, 10/21, at 6 pm, at Ancient Cities Cafe in Mountainair.

As you most likely know, our zoning request for the range has been tabled by Planning & Zoning until their November meeting. One very important item of business at this week's meeting will be discussing how each member or friend can help make the range a reality by supporting our plans through the zoning process. I hope very much that you will come this week.

Jim & Dorothy Greene will have the Friends of NRA tickets available for the Mountainair FNRA banquet on November 20. You can purchase their tickets from them at the club meeting Thursday. Tickets are $25 each or $45 for two. They will also have the tickets for the gun of the year raffle, Kimber rifle in 308 Win. caliber. Those tickets are $10 each or 3 for $25.

". . . Mountainair is a potential problem. I suggested we look into the fittings and whether they’re robust. We also heard that the Pipeline Safety Bureau has identified and addressed leaks in the (Mountainair) system that were not connected to these polyethylene fittings.”

I believe that some of the gas pipelines were upgraded in Mountainair when John Romero was Mayor, however, like town water and sewer lines, portions of the Town's infrastructure is outdated, undersized, and needs replaced. Given income levels in the community, Mountainair would be hard pressed to find funding to upgrade the town's infrastructure without financial assistance.

Perhaps Mountainair should consider a local sales tax and/or special assessment of property holders in Mountainair in order to at least come up with matching monies for grants as well as to minimize loans for infrastructure improvement.  Mountainair will be hard pressed to entice new business and industry to town unless it can improve the infrastructure. Without these vital improvements, Mountainair will simply not grow.
