Normally if there is a public hearing, it would be devoted entirely to how the new town would be financed. In the project I worked on for Aubrey McClendon, we were moving several people to the site to live in mobile homes. They would have no idea what we intended to do with the property nor would the governmental authority. I had assumed that New Mexico law would be similar to Oklahoma's and we would be able to choose those who would live on the property and be the spokesmen for the new town. Because my brief review of the New Mexico statutes leads me to believe you would have several public hearings and would be questioned on the motivation of the creation, I believe in the middle of this undeserved hysteria and the potential of an investigative reporter from the press, there is not a good risk-reward ratio.

Those in the west are very flexible and this was the reason for my early optimism. Tuesday, I got a copy of the New Mexico statutes and your first impressions, as usual, are correct. Sony I bothered you on this matter, but I thought there might be a safe way of doing this. Jerry a Gerald G. Barton The Barton Development Group, Inc.
