One Trick Pony is Really a Cow

(Albuquerque Mayor) Berry says the $2 million would be used for small capital projects to sweeten the pot or eliminate hurdles to a new business, such as extending a pipeline.

  Ah yes, the worthy pipe extension.  A Journal editorial thus pays homage to construction as economic development.  Extension of a new water line to the middle of nowhere will sweeten the pot.  And create a tasty treat for the one that owns the pot.  Well, here's another saying:  Put the pipe down.

As I've said before pipes and roads are primarily about land speculation not economic development.  Even if the builders wish it so, every new or expanded business does not need a new building.  That one trick pony is a cow that can jump.

I'm a little confused. I thought ABCWUA was in charge of water.

I heard about one once that jumped over the moon! Happened out on the West Mesa somewheres if'n I'm recalling correctly.
