Editorial Time for Five-Member Taos County Commission
Taos County commissioners voted unanimously for a five member county commission a move supporters say will curb patronage and improve governance. The plan hinges on census results with districts drawn for 2002 and elections staggered through 2006, with emphasis on fair access for Taos Picuris Pueblos Red River and ranching communities.
