I want to thank everyone who came out to vote during the LCC election. I especially want to thank my family and friends for their support.

It is a pleasure and a privilege to be elected to such a prestigious position. I am looking forward to serving LCC and becoming a part of the Board of Trustees team. Teamwork is an essential component of all successful institutions. As a team, goals will be set and accomplished and as team we can ensure that LCC’s students will have a future filled with hope and promise.   

Let us start thinking about how we are going to become debt free. Let’s start feeling good about accomplishing our goals. That is the psychology of economic prosperity. The more we are committed to our goal of economic prosperity — that’s what your going to get more of.

If you doubt me, check it out with your friends and neighbors that are enjoying economic prosperity. If all we do is feel really bad because of all the debt we have — that’s what we are going to get more of.

Classrooms at West Las Vegas Middle School are being cleaned after a sewage backup affected a large portion of the west wing of the school.

Superintendent Jim Abreu said classes would be held Monday, but the affected area will be undergoing a major cleanup for at least another three weeks by an Albuquerque company that specializes in cleaning flooded-out areas. He said students whose classrooms are in that area of the building would be moved to other classrooms at the school.

On behalf of the honest voters of Las Vegas, I would like to congratulate Tommy Ortiz and Marsha Archuleta for a job well done. Working very hard and having sincere support does pay off even though the victory was in the hands of Tony “Vadez.”

Tony who was appointed in the last term, had to work hard this time around or not. Could it have been the Luna Community College board members helped Tony only because he is the yes puppet (agreeing with board members’ decisions) to continue his term?
