Headlines confusion..... different Walker - nothing to do with Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site expansion

While there is a 'Walker' that owns a large part of the PCMS desired expansion area the 'Walker' in the news yesterday is a totally unrelated 'Walker' and has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EXPANSION OF PCMS.

The Army did say that they aren't interested however in purchasing any of the land that Gary Walker says is for sale.  (Gazette article)


We must remember too that the Army has adequate training ranges within its existing real estate inventory.  Therefore PCEOC is generally opposed to the federalization of more private property, especially productive agricultural lands, no matter where they are.  We hope that Mr. Walker will find satisfaction in his desire to sell his property, as is his right and do so and in a manner that will keep it in agricultural production as he says he also desires.

So, to be certain - Gary Walker should not be confused with having anything to do with the expansion of the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site.
