Hi Everyone,

Joe Richardson, editor of The Southwestern magazine, here. Say—the new bill format we said you’d see in January? Been delayed. The day after our January issue went to press, we learned the new bill was behind schedule. When your January magazine arrives and you find an article addressing the new bill as if it’s in your hands, that would be why. We’ve addressed the breakdown in communication and will strive to do better in the future.

We’re told the new bill format will appear in February. As I understand it, there are still coding issues to resolve, so, time will tell. 

While I have you here, I’d like to thank you for reading the magazine, for your letters, your emails, for your contributions to our Members in Focus segment, and for participating in our puzzle pages. You are, without doubt, the best part of our publication. We’re grateful.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
