During the final part of the first meeting of the New Mexico Central Arizona Project Entity on Monday, Aug. 10, 2015, at the Grant County Administration Center, the members, after lunch, had a chance to ask more questions of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Interstate Stream Commission representatives in attendance.
Newly elected temporary chairwoman Hidalgo County Commissioner Darr Shannon asked the question that was on many people's minds: "Why did it take so long for us to get this information, when we need to hurry, hurry? We know you're just the messenger," she said to Reclamation Phoenix Office Program Development Division Director Mary Reece.
