Thanks for another good article!
I was disappointed to hear once again the “I Moved here to get out of the city” excuse from many of the citizens who spoke out at the meeting. I guess, though, it is hard to look ahead when your head is buried in the sand. While the town attorney and Ms. Mahalick may not have able to present the town’s program in its best light at this meeting, a lot of work did go into their proposed annexation efforts. I feel certain that if the town’s annexation request had been approved, a smooth and orderly transition for the newly-joined areas would have occurred.
Like it or not, the town of Edgewood will continue to expand. Those who have rejected the town’s efforts to progress in a orderly manner at this time,. could well have occasion to regret their actions in the future. While several citizens commented on how well the county of Santa Fe had met their needs, as a governmental entity, I hope that their expectations for the future are met. Unfortunately, my personal relations with the County and City to the North have been less than satisfactory. I have the feeling that the old axiom “Out of sight, out of mind” applies. In any case, Edgewood will survive!
