Ty's Take
Gregg Hull's been around this country long enough to know that the real New Mexico isn't Santa Fe or Albuquerque—it's places like Chama and Abiquiú, where the land grants run deep and the water fights never really end. When a state official starts talking about small towns being a priority, you've got to listen, especially when he's already spent years working these communities instead of just visiting them on a schedule. The Cordova crash case moving toward resolution is another reminder that even out here, where everybody knows everybody, the law still has to run its course—and that matters as much to the valley's peace of mind as any infrastructure promise ever could. Hull seems to understand both sides of that equation, which is why folks in the high country might actually believe what he's saying.
