Richardson returns to Las Cruces on Thursday

Gov. Bill Richardson will be in Las Cruces on Thursday to talk about his support for three multi-million dollar infrastructure projects in Southern Doña Ana County.

It will be his second trip to the city this week.

Richardson will discuss the projects during a news conference at 2:45 p.m. at his Las Cruces office, located at 505 South Main Street.

Few details were released, but Richardson spokesman Jon Goldstein said the governor would discuss three capital outlay proposals – two for Sunland Park and a third that deals with colonias – that total several million dollars.

The governor was in Las Cruces on Monday to promote passage of a proposed gross receipts tax increase to help fund Spaceport America. It was his first trip here since announcing himself as a candidate for president.

Goldstein said he didn’t know if Richardson would do any campaigning while in Southern New Mexico. I’m waiting to hear back from Richardson’s campaign.
