Sign Man Sighted
On November 4, 2014, the Sign Man was back on the streets, exercising his First Amendment Rights, claiming he was no longer smitten with Smith’s, who has smited drivers and is selling gas for high prices. Lines at the pumps were light during election day.
There’s an Elephant in the House
Apparently, the Republican party capitalized on the sour mood of voters. Nationally, the Elephants swept Governor’s, Senator’s, and Representative offices. While democrats made in roads into Pennsylvannia, or held on to some seats in demo Donkey land, voters bucked the trends in Taos County and sent republicans packing, including longtime politico Virgil Martinez, who lost to Demo Mark Gallegos, Mayor of Questa, by a couple hundred votes. Gallegos will be the new commissioner in District 2. Congratulations to Mark “the giant killer.”
The holiday season is upon us and it’s time to sing of Santa, education, Seniors, and natural gas lines. See below.

Subject: New Mexico Gas Company’s Proposed Taos Mainline Re-route Project
Dear Interested Public:
The BLM is seeking public input on a proposal by the New Mexico Gas Company to relocate a 6-mile section of the Taos Mainline, a natural gas pipeline that serves the communities of Taos, Questa, and Red River in Taos County. The section of the pipeline, located primarily on BLM lands within the Río Grande corridor between the communities of Rinconada and Pilar, is currently stressed by unstable slopes.
A public scoping meeting is scheduled for November 13, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Sagebrush Inn in Taos. The BLM is asking that all public input be received by December 1. Please see the attached scoping letter for more details on the meeting and the opportunity to provide input.
Thank you,
