Roswell Court Rules for City Council in Public Comment Case
Judge Alvin F. Jones ruled in favor of the Roswell City Council in a civil suit by The Tatter editor Tom Tarter, who claimed his First Amendment rights were violated when he was blocked from speaking at a Nov 9 1995 meeting over a lease issue at the Roswell Industrial Air Center including the Roswell Dragway. The decision cites prior injunctions and notes council members including Doris Callaway and Mayor Thomas Jennings were involved, with comments from City Attorney Steve Bell and Mayor Bill Owen.

Reies Tijerina era ends in violence and fading cause
The Echo Amphitheater protest and the 1960s land grant struggle left a volatile aftertaste. Tijerina’s Alianza pursued redress through civil disobedience then court cases, but violence at the Rio Arriba courthouse and Salazar’s death shifted opinion. Tijerina’s conviction on federal charges followed by a prison term ended his NM activism, though the land grant grievance persisted in memory and disputes. Morrow Hall contact appears at Estancia NM.
