We have some local business folk and a judge who really like to spend money on what (in my opinion) are unnecessary things.
What say you?

I agree. All you have to do is look at San Antonio; we've millions on projects to promote tourism, it hasn't worked. AND, what about your animal shelter?!

I ALSO AGREEE THAT MORE MONEY AND RESOURCES SHPULD BE USE TO RE BEAUTIFY DOWN TOWN PECOS.
CLEAN UP PROJECTS SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE, IN EVERY NEIGHBOR HOOD. A WHOLE CAMPAIGN COULD BE LAUNCHED AND IT MIGHT KEEP SOME PEOPLE OUT OF TROUBLE. A PECOS PRIDE MOVEMENT. THE MONEY SHOULD BE USED TO START THERE FIRST. I DO NOT UNDER STAND WHY PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO START WITH WHAT THEY Have. OH WELL, I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY, SO I GUESS I DON'T HAVE A SAY. PECOS COULD BE SUCH A LOVELY PLACE IF THE MONEY WENT TO THE RIGHT PROJECTS. WRITE YOU LOCAL NEWS PEOPLE AND GET THE FIRED UP. START A MOVEMENT.
I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER.
