I have not talked about this here before as it seemed a foregone conclusion
and very far afield for most of you, but... we just had an election here in
Albuquerque.
Masquerading as "road improvements" was a measure on the ballot which would
have put a four-lane road through the middle of a national monument, which
is, incidentally, sacred to a dozen or so Native American groups, and
contains thousands of prehistoric rock paintings. The costs were also
rather high as the city declined to seek federal matching funds --- would
have required an environmental impact statement :P
And it was defeated at the polls. Wow :) Who'd have thunk it? Either people
have started thinking, or the ones who do came out to vote. Either way, I
am very glad to see it.
Just had to share :) the news just hit my inbox.
