Judge Michael Vigil: Judge Vigil explained why he wanted to be on the Supreme Court of NM. The Court of Appeals has had a lot of changes recently and he has been there for 15 years. He feels he is the best-qualified person for the NM Supreme Court. Judges should not be out raising money from special interest and Judge Vigil is using public financing for that reason.

Heights Community Center: Edgar Avila, Manager of Heights Community Center said they will start on the new dance floor in early 2019.
Lead & Coal Two-Way: Tom Ocken & Richard Hallett attended meetings with the City. A study by Joseph (see Jim’s email) $30 Mil was spent on changing from 3 lanes to 2 lanes with bike lanes, bump outs, & landscaping. The traffic and accidents are about the same. 85% of the people are going 5-8 miles over the speed limit. Traffic cameras cannot be used to control traffic and the data/video are erased after 24 hours. Monitoring noise level requires approval from the state legislature. Lots of copper wire has been stolen for scrap.
