Santa Fe County Missing Minutes?

This morning I sent the following email to the County Attorney's office and Dr. Freilich:

"Would like to point out that the Out Reach Meeting List and the Focus Group Minutes do not match. Are these two document sets suppose to match? Are there minutes from the meetings especially with NMOGA (New Mexico Oil & Gas Association) and IPANM (Independent Petroleum Association New Mexico)? What about the second set of minutes for the "Santa Fe Friends of Capitalism"?

A few quick corrections that jumped out at me: The grassroots organization is Drilling Santa Fe at drillingsantafe.org. It was listed as No Drilling Santa Fe on the Santa Fe County documents. Also, when I spoke of a county energy plan, it was not to be in lieu of a growth management plan, but as part of the growth management plan.

It would behoove us all to expand the outreach. For example, Drilling Santa Fe is part of a broader coalition, Common Ground United at commongroundunited.org . As Common Ground United has done, local businesses need to be part of the mix. Also, other organizations such as the Oil & Gas Accountability Project (Gwen Lachelt, Oil & Gas Accountability Project (OGAP)) and the National Wildlife Federation (Oscar Simpson, The New Mexico Wildlife Federation and National Wildlife Federation) should be brought in. At the bottom of this email will be a list of the coalition members to date."
