Doña Ana County is set to witness a significant development at the upcoming County Commission meeting scheduled for April 23rd. The local National Day of Prayer task force has been diligently working to align the county's practices with federal law. However, this year's proclamation has sparked controversy due to its departure from the traditional template.

According to an unnamed source, "This year’s proclamation is insultingly weak and doesn’t even mention God and misses the point of a day of prayer." The County Commissioners have chosen to deviate from the usual proclamation template, raising questions and concerns among the community members.

In response to this deviation, individuals interested in expressing their views have been encouraged to attend the County Commission Meeting at the County Building on Tuesday, April 23 at 9 am. The source further stated, "The meeting agenda looks light enough that they may get to the proclamations by 9:30 am."

Acknowledgment was given to Michael Simmons, RPDA Secretary, for the original draft of the announcement, indicating the collaborative efforts involved in addressing this matter. The upcoming County Commission meeting is expected to draw attention and public participation as the new proclamation is presented and discussed.

Residents and stakeholders in Doña Ana County are advised to stay informed and engaged as the community navigates through this important issue at the upcoming meeting.
