Denish to hold open forum Thursday in Las Cruces

While in Las Cruces on Thursday for the New Mexico Municipal League’s annual conference, Lt. Gov. Diane Denish will give members of the public a chance to ask questions and share concerns.

Denish will hold an “open forum” from 2-4 p.m. on Thursday in the Luna Room at New Mexico State University’s Corbett Center.

Denish spokeswoman Kate Nelson said there will be an opportunity for members of the public and those attending the municipal league conference to ask questions and share concerns with the lieutenant governor.

“I know that she’s very interested in hearing what the public’s concerns are as well as those of members of the municipal league,” Nelson said.

Gov. Bill Richardson will be in New Mexico on Thursday, so Denish won’t be the acting governor during her trip to Las Cruces.
