THURSDAY’S RAIN BROUGHT BACK AN OLD PROBLEM FOR RESIDENTS OF BELEN…FLOODING. THE RAIN CAUSED A BREACH ON THE BELEN HIGHLINE CANAL, SENDING WATER THROUGH THE STREETS. STATE REPRESENTATIVE GAIL ARMSTRONG IS WORKING WITH OTHER LAWMAKERS AND AGENCIES TO COME UP WITH A PERMANENT SOLUTION.
SHE SAYS, RIGHT NOW, T HE DAMAGE IS BEING ASSESSED AND HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION FROM SANTA FE THAT WILL FREE-UP FUNDS TO HELP THE RESIDENTS DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.
