An Email From Renee

The vast majority of Valley residents
agree that it is in our common interest to preserve,
protect, and nourish the acequias in their natural habitat.
December 2007 Public Workshop

Yet, in the local press, DWT is still portrayed as having a
mandate to formalize and "enhance" the local trails.
The following is is an example of a DWT
"enhancement"

The Bridge To Nowhere

Disgruntled area politicians are even chiming in with calls to
dissolve the Conservancy because it rejected the proposed
urban trail network. One can only wonder why the
press continues to print their outrageous allegations
without bothering to check the facts or allowing
RGBNA equal time to respond.

Please read the RGBNA Response to Ortiz Y Pino
the Alibi did not print:

Ortiz Y Pino Got It Wrong

Senators Dede Feldman and Jerry Ortiz Y Pino
do not serve the process or their constituents
well with unsubstantiated claims and rants
against the Conservancy. The simple fact
is the majority of ratepayers did not favor
an urban trail network and the MRGCD
responded accordingly.

The threat of the State interfering with
that decision should give everyone pause.
