Former Corrales Mayor Gary Kanin Remembered
Gary Kanin, 82, longtime Corrales leader, left office in March 2006 after 15 years as mayor and three as councilor. He spoke his mind on issues from a skate park to a sewer line and moving the county line, drawing an ACLU lawsuit and a council censure. Ben Schwartz recalls their disputes and says Kanin's tenure left a lasting impact on the village.
