Ty's Take

Nobody in this county wakes up wanting to read about a child abuse case, but here we are—Mari Felix pleading guilty to two counts is the kind of local news that sits heavy in a small place where everybody knows everybody.

Both things matter in their own way.

Ty's Take The fourth bond measure in as many years tells you everything you need to know about where the money's going around here—water systems that can't keep up, roads that never stop crumbling, and wastewater infrastructure that's playing catch-up to

Silver City Daily Digest Saturday, July 18, 2026

Ty's Take The museum director's indictment lands hard in a town where cultural institutions are supposed to be pulling people together, not tearing themselves apart—especially when we're still building what Silver City's going to be in another ten years. You can
