The following is a forwarded message from County Commissioner Alicia Edwards:

Good evening everyone,
As you have contacted me in the past regarding your concerns about the Holloman AFB issue, I wanted to be proactive and contact you regarding the latest information about a Thursday meeting. At today's commission work session, we made it clear that the commission would not be hosting a meeting that the public was not invited to.

What is happening instead, is Mark VanDyk, Lt Gov Sanchez' Chief of Staff is facilitating a meeting at the Convention Center (next to Ace) on Thursday March 8th at 1pm. THE MEETING IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. The meeting has been characterized as a Q&A session with Alan Shaeffer, who is the same person who spoke to the commission last fall.

I encourage each and every one of you to attend that meeting and bring every family member, friend and neighbor you have. It is absolutely critical that the Air Force understand the level of opposition in Grant County to the proposed MOA.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. And please, attend this meeting now that it has been made public!
