Cover, May 10: “On the Struggle Bus”
Hustle and bus-le
I walk a mile to get the #1 bus on Agua Fria and I am glad of it. COVID cost drivers (is it true one or more died?), and they’ve not been replaced. The 5, 6 and M routes are, hopefully, temporarily suspended...Could the city and/or [Transit Advisory Board] reach out to other cities, even states? Meantime, I say thank you to Santa Fe Trails personnel for keeping us rollin’ with depleted staff.

News, May 24: “No Such Thing as Free Parking”
A few small suggestions
How about up public transit (including more routes) and its frequency (to say every 10 minutes during commute hours), make safer bike lanes and parking areas, make areas more walkable and accommodating to people rather than cars and stop focusing on parking as a profit center.

Morning Word, May 19: “AG Calls for More Resources”
Bones about it
I’m so glad Eric Blinman has filed a lawsuit. It worries me to see our governor seemingly choose friendship and cronyism over our cherished and vital archaeology powerhouse, Eric Blinman. He has taught many thousands of us in lectures, field trips, brown bag lunches and school outreach programs—while also enriching our entire Southwest with his scholarship and fieldwork.
