Auditors identified incomplete official records, missing supporting documents, and transparency failures that reduced the public’s Read More

Town of Taos Councilor & Mayor Pro Tem

Now, not being from your community, I don’t really have much place to offer an opinion or endorsement in your local election — but after serving alongside Los Alamos County Councilor Melanee Hand on the North Central Regional Transit District Board (NCRTD Blue Bus) for the past two and a half years, I feel at least somewhat qualified to throw my voice out into the wind.

What’s important to know is that the Blue Bus doesn’t stop at county lines, and neither do the challenges our communities Read More
