A proposed RV park development near Zion National Park's Kolob Canyon entrance was rejected by Washington County commissioners.

According to The Salt Lake Tribune:

St. George • A proposal to build an RV park, hotel and gas station near the northwest entrance to Zion National Park has been rejected by county commissioners who said the rural area wasn’t equipped to handle that kind of commercial development. 

Washington County commissioners unanimously voted down the proposal Tuesday despite an earlier approval from a county planning commission, the Spectrum newspaper in St. George reported. 

A company called Juniper Investors was asking the commission to rezone land near the town of New Harmony off Interstate 15.

Gov. Grisham To Threaten NM "Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties"?

It is rumored that the governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, may plan to threaten counties who have passed "Second Amendment Sactuary County" resolutions with withholding of capital outlays. She is planning to have a conference call with county commissioners today.

From Cibola County Sheriff Tony Mace:

Our commissioners are solid on this issue but the public needs to know the tactics that are being used to suppress our voice! And continue to attack our constitutional rights!!
URGENT! The Governor has scheduled a conference call with all County Commission Chairs/V. Chairs at 2:00 pm on Friday. All counties who passed 2A Sanctuary Resolutions will be asked to Rescind or have capital outlay vetoed? Start calling your commissioners!

It is interesting to note that when President Trump planned to withhold funds from states and municipalities over sanctuary status on illegal immigration, the liberals wailed like gut pigs, calling it governmental oppression and abuse.

New Mexico residents: contact your county commissioners and tell them you back them and your sheriffs and not the strong-arm tacticts of the governor!

***************

UPDATE:

KOAT reported that the conference call was a "make-nice" session. According to the report, the governor did not ask the counties to rescind their 2A resolutions. Although the session was a positive first, but ginger, step, none of the commissioners were allowed to ask questions.

The passage of a resolution declaring McKinley County a "Second Amendment Sanctuary County" made the news in the Gallup Sun.

They wrote:

Unanimous decision made during a special meeting

The crowd filled the third floor meeting room of the McKinley County Courthouse on Wednesday to capacity, pouring out into the lobby and first floor rotunda.

People had gathered to hear a reading of and voice either their support or opposition to a resolution presented to the Board of Commissioners that would preserve the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and declare McKinley County as a Second Amendment Sanctuary County.

A Second Amendment Sanctuary County has adopted resolutions to not enforce certain gun control measures that are seen as violating the Second Amendment. San Juan, Eddy, Curry, Quay, Socorro and Union counties are among the New Mexico counties that have adopted these sanctuary resolutions.

McKinley County Sheriff Ron Silversmith presented the resolution to the board Feb. 27.
