RR legislators to host public forum
Proposals for capital outlay funding among items on the agenda
Residents can air their thoughts and concerns about the community as Republican legislators representing Rio Rancho hold their annual public forum on the upcoming legislative session.
The fourth annual forum, featuring capital outlay requests, takes place at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4, at the Rio Rancho Public Schools boardroom, 500 Laser NE.
At the forum, the lawmakers will share information about the upcoming legislative session and make public the proposals that are being submitted to area legislators for capital outlay spending, according to a news release issued by the New Mexico Senate Republican Office.
“Those of us representing Rio Rancho are committed to making it as easy and as open as possible for the public to know about the proposals for capital outlay funding in our community. This is our open process and we believe the public is served very well by it,” said Sen. Craig Brandt, who represents District 40. “This year, we are featuring the public outlay requests within the public forum and have moved it to January so it would be closer to the opening day of the legislative session. We hope the public continues to find the forums informative, productive and that their concerns and priorities for the upcoming session are addressed.”
Rep. Tim Lewis of District 60; Rep. Jason Harper of District 57; and Rep. Jane E. Powdrell-Culbert of District 44 will join Brandt in conducting the forum.
