The fire garage is necessary in order to receive State funding needed to actually run the day to day operations of the CFD as well as to have a place to park these beautiful fire trucks we have (I am like a little kid, I love fire trucks), in other words to make the CFD a reality. The Commissioners voted an overwhelming "Yes" so this is exceptionally good news for the residents of Carson.

I, and I am sure all my neighbors, would like to thank the Taos County Commissioner's as well as the County Manager and the County Attorney for considering this issue and giving it the green light. I would especially like to say thank you to Commissioner Romero for the many kind words he had to say about the Community of Carson and our front man and foot soldier, Art Wilbur. They approved $39,941.50 to be appropriated July 1st.

And thank you to all the Carson residents that showed up at the meeting today, it was a packed house (I even got my wife and daughter to wake up early and show up, no small feat, lol).

The fire garage will get built immediately with money that has been loaned to the CCA by some of the great neighbors we have, most notably Greg Scott and Elizabeth Brownrigg, thank you very much Greg and Elizabeth, and everybody else that has put money into this venture, without you this would not have happened.

A HUGE thank you and acknowlegement is also due Art Wilbur, without this man I am doubtful this would have gotten done at this time, what a great guy to have as a neighbor, ally and friend. Thank you very much Art.

I will probably not thank everybody that deserves it because of my ignorance only but I would also like to thank Joseph Gyovai (Jojo) and all the other volunteers that have spent so much of their own time, money and sweat to make this a reality, thank you.

And finally Rob Hughes and Jojo and all the others that are volunteering their time and expertise to actually build this thing, thank you.

I am really proud to be a part of this great Community of Carson, so thank you friends and neighbors for being such great friends and neighbors...

Feel free to add to this or email me, mark@carsonview.com, if there is anybody I forgot to thank, any pertinent information I neglected to point out, any misinformation I might be passing on, or anything else relating to this good news we got today...
