Road to nowhere....why is the city KILLING JOBS?

Does this road (right) lead to nowhere? The answer is no, not exactly. This road leads directly to one of the finest new golf courses in the Southwest (see picture below). Where is this new golf course? It is just north of Highway 70 in Las Cruces. Why would we ask if this a road leading to nowhere? Because for the time being, that is exactly how this road is being treated by the Las Cruces City Council. For reasons known only to those working behind closed doors the city has repeatedly thrown up what amounts to local job-killing roadblocks. And in doing so, local policy makers have thwarted all efforts to get the golf course open for local and visiting residents to play. With unemployment a severe problem for working families in our city, our elected officials have some explaining to do. Exactly why are our city councilors, politicians who speak of jobs during speeches to their constituents, denying our local workers access to hundreds of construction jobs, golf course jobs, and restaurant jobs?
The gross receipts tax losses alone that have been caused by city council's dithering away opportunities to help get this course open have cost the city coffers more than a half a million dollars. Tomorrow, we will show pictures of a brand new elementary school that is due for opening next month in this same area of town. News New Mexico plans to broadcast by remote control from the street corner leading into this school if City Councilors do not begin explaining why the restrictive “safety” rules it is applying to the golf course’s opening do not apply to the safety of elementary school children that will attend the school. It might be time to start calling your city councilors.

Is there Las Cruces city councilor who actually knows how to use a phone? They are nothing more than a bunch of "progressives" who will do anything to stand in the way of economic progress.
