Ty's Take
Derek Bean's NMAA Rookie AD of the Year award is the kind of good news Truth or Consequences doesn't get enough of—the kind that says somebody young believes this town's worth building something in. Meanwhile, out in the desert east of here, Virgin Galactic's bringing Unity back to flight, which is either the future arriving or a very expensive tourism add-on, depending on who you ask. But here's what actually matters: Williamsburg's finally serious about stormwater control on those streets, which means somebody's thinking about keeping the Rio Grande from turning into a dumping ground before Elephant Butte runs any drier. That's the real growth story—not the rockets or the rankings, but whether we're figuring out how to live here without wrecking what makes living here possible.
