Taos County lays off four and cuts work week
Taos County eliminates four positions including roads and bridges chief Joe Mike Duran and shifts most staff to a 32 hour week to trim payroll. Officials estimate savings of about $30,000 monthly, while state auditors warn the cut may not prevent insolvency. County manager Morrison pushes the plan amid ongoing scrutiny and a yet to be completed DFA audit.

Teegarden was unsure if he was fired as tribal staff barred from offices and locks were changed at Taos Mountain Casino and Kachina Lodge, amid orders from tribal leaders.

Taos Residence Vote on Moving Downtown Post Office
Taos residents face a decision on replacing the Paseo del Pueblo Norte post office with a new 20,000 square foot facility, potentially relocating operations away from the center. At a sparsely attended Taos Civic Center meeting, postal officials urged timely feedback before construction plans advance. Community leaders voiced traffic concerns and favored moving most operations to a single new building while allowing downtown access for box holders and retail customers. Mayor Fred Peralta supported reducing downtown traffic and considered a commercial presence nearby.

Work starts on controversial Camino del Medio mobile home park
Land cleared for a trailer park on Camino del Medio despite neighborhood groups vows to fight the town decision. On April 24 Toby Layadie carried out the work the same day the approval arrived. Attorney Mary Humphrey represents neighbors seeking an appeal to district court and obtained a restraining order to halt work until the appeal is decided. The order came after ground leveling, as neighbors warn of dense population impacts on under five acres housing 15 pads.
