News, March 21:  “Secret Stash”

Bang Bang

Now that makes me feel more safe and secure. How much of this arsenal is from federal grant money years ago as funding for the so-called War on Drugs and the onslaught of SWAT reinforcements and military force tactics?

News, March 21:  “Rising Cost of Recycling”

Here’s a Thought

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for an entrepreneur to meet with a venture capital source and build a recycling plant in New Mexico that could accept items from all over the West. It's gotta be price-competitive if you don't have to ship tons of material thousands of ocean miles, even if your sorting and cleaning crews are bigger. Which, by the way, means more jobs, done here, by people who will spend here.

Cover, February 21:  “Power Failure”

Holdin’ Our Shares

We noticed you republished an ad taken out by "PNM Shareholders" against New Energy Economy along with your story. We are also PNM shareholders. We use our rights as shareholders to advocate for accountability, mainly through shareholder resolutions on the annual ballot. You omitted mention of our ad, which also appeared in the New Mexican, thanking New Energy Economy for standing strong in opposition to legislation that would have allowed PNM to charge ratepayers around half a billion dollars for profits it had planned on getting from coal operations through 2050.

Correction

The US Ambassador to Cuba is Philip Goldberg. "Our Woman in Havana" (cover, March 21) incorrectly referred to Lawrence Gumbiner as having this position.
