SPACEPORT AMERICA IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO GETS THE VOTE FOR GREATER SECRECY. THAT WAS THE VOTE AT THE ROUND HOUSE IN SANTA FE MONDAY. STATE SENATORS VOTED 35 TO 5 ON THIS BILL, WHICH WOULD ALLOW PROTECTION FOR THE SPACEPORT TO DRAW IN SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN AEROSPACE.
ALAMOGORDO REPUBLICAN SENATOR BILL BURT SPONSORED THE THE BILL AND HE’S PROMISING THAT WE’LL SEE A SIGNIFICANT RETURN ON OUR INVESTMENT IN THE SPACEPORT IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. CRITICS SAY BURT’S MEASURE GOES TOO FAR WITH TAXPAYERS PAYING THE COSTS.
