Coming Up Monday on KTAL La Politica New Mexico:  Anthony NM

On Monday, January 15, La Politica New Mexico, on KTAL (101.5) will feature the Mayor of Anthony, Diana Murillo, and Rose Garcia, along with yours truly and E. Shirley Baca.  The question on the table, as always, is how well is government working.  La Politica New Mexico runs from 8-9 AM.

Readers may recall that Anthony incorporated as a municipality in 2010, hoping for a favorable ruling on a request to locate a gambling casino nearby.  That ruling never came and, in all likelihood, the issue is dead.  But Anthony city government is still chugging along, and there are good reasons all citizens in Dona Ana County should be aware of what is happening there.

Anthony's future as a municipality is key to a larger question about the future of Dona Ana County.  As El Paso, bursting at the seams with growth, spills into Chaparral, Anthony, Sunland Park, and other communities in Dona Ana County, there is a strong need for effective planning.  Is this happening?  How well do Dona Ana County officials interface with Anthony?  What kinds of things are in the works at City Hall in Anthony?  Join me and the rest on Monday morning at 8 AM on 101.5, KTAL.
