At The Risk Of ………

by Chuck Ring

Sounding redundant, at least I’m not recumbent, as Edgewood Town Government seems to be. It has now been a total of fifteen days and one article since I first spoke with the Mayor about the weeds along New Mexico State Road 344.  At this juncture, I don’t really care whose job it is to clean the mess up and I’m sure most citizens do not care who takes them away. I believe the collective “we” would just love to wake up from our revelry in  a well-“managed” town to discover them gone. It is simply silly and illogical for the Town of Edgewood and the New Mexico Department of Transportation not to figure out the small stuff in order to accomplish the big stuff.

Mayor, since I last spoke with you about this infestation the weeds have grown from ugly to double-ugly. Turn loose of some of that money in the moth-ridden town wallet and work with DOT to make our town beautiful. In case you missed my last article regarding this issue; here’s a repeat:

Again, Whose Job Is It?

Thanks and I’ll be in the area all day.

Addendum: As I ventured out today (September 8, 2008) I discovered that the incarceration orange folks have paid another visit to our landscaped areas on SR 344. It appears they have made considerable progress on the west side of the highway with plenty of distance left to go before it is completed. Whoever is responsible will, I am sure,  have the graditude of the community. Now let us hope that they take care of the weeds outside the boundaries of the landscaped areas.

    There is a simple solution for this problem. Since there doen’t seem to be any other way to truly resolve this matter, have the Mayor declare a “Community work day”. After proclaiming the event, he and other volunteers from our town could go out and attack the issue directly. One thing, though, this is one town event we’d like to see the mayor attend!

    Kudos to Walmart for keeping their portion of SR344 well-maintained
