City votes to pay for museum ads amid Dinamation dispute
City councilors approved 700 monthly advertising fees for the Dinamation museum as litigation over city ownership continues. The project began with a 1998 agreement for city construction and a 1999 opening, funded by a 1.3 million state loan repaid over 20 years, while the city covers some utilities and Dinamation’s rent.
City to Take Over Dinamation Museum Move Faces Litigation
Grants officials moved to seize the museum as city run facility after a breach suit sought to halt Wonderworks from reclaiming its property. The city notified the court it planned to operate the museum, while Dinamation International Society allegedly failed to respond. Courts allowed Wonderworks to repossess some property, but most actions remain in litigation. City council discussed billboard leases tied to Dinamation, totaling 700 dollars monthly, with funding from Lodgers Tax but public input questioned.

Miners Strike Shuts Two McKinley Mines in New Mexico
More than 300 coal miners from Local 1332 of the United Mine Workers walked off Monday, picketing the north and south gates of McKinley County mines along NM Highway 264 after breakdown of seven weeks of contract talks. The union backs its leadership, while company spokesman Bob Johnson declined to reveal offers as negotiations resume. No coal was shipped from the McKinley Mine, and the dispute centers on pay, overtime, and health insurance with the company pushing for higher output and reduced benefits.
