In a measure that was not touted with heavy marketing nor a loud endorsement from Alamogordo city commissioners the measure to rededicate the .125 local economic development tax for the construction and maintenance of a new enclosed pool for the citizens of Alamogordo passed with a 52% approval in votes for the measure.
With the funding source now secured the commission will now move forward with next steps in planning and soon vote on the type of enclosure and the design details of the project.
The present outdoor pool at the recreation center is near the end of its life due to cracking and aging. The commission made the recommendation to move forward with an enclosed option to provide year around access and to improve access opportunities for families, the elderly and disabled.

this is a situation which is replicated in countless small communities across our nation; where a single business/mine/factory/industry, or in this case, military base, is the economic engine that powers the entire community. this creates a nervous sort of dependency, and subservient approach within the local gover
The corruption which causes reputational damage is too widespread already and is going to overflow into the public eye soon enough. There is nothing anyone, or any group can do to stop it all from coming out. It is not limited to Chamber of Commerce or MainGate, IMO. Its tentacles are choking this city.
this is not an unusual situation involving chambers of commerce - merging government with business interests is nearly as problematic as merging government with churches. either situation places minority stakeholders in positions to manipulate the public's interests.
