Judge rejects call for grand jury in New Mexico pool case
District Judge Louis DePauli denied a petition to call a grand jury to probe McKinley County’s handling of the Harold L. Runnels Recreation Center pool project. The six page ruling says the petition fails to meet constitutional criteria and notes civil questions exist, not criminal. County officials welcomed the decision, aiming to finish the project after Wescon Inc signed a 284,320 dollar contract to complete work.
