Sustainability Summit to Spend Borrowed Money

An all-day “summit” is set for Saturday in Las Cruces. Those coordinating the event are celebrating a $2 million federal grant for a “sustainability initiative.” The money for this initiative is all part of $3.8 trillion in spending by the Obama administration this year. The money has been made available without passing a budget for three years.
Progressive Democrats, including Doña Ana County Commissioner Billy Garrett and Las Cruces Mayor Pro Tem Sharon Thomas, will begin the process of consuming the grant which was given to Doña Ana County by the federal Partnership for Sustainable Communities. The U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) gave the money away.
