Taos superintendent faces potential conflict over district purchases
Taos Municipal School District bought 5494.55 in sporting goods and gear from G and G Trophies and Gifts in the Pueblo Alegre Mall from January 26 to May 23, 1996. G and G is co owned by Superintendent Andrew Gallegos and John Gonzales, raising questions about conflict of interest as policy forbids board members or relatives from selling to the district. Former president Bob Romero was unaware of the co ownership and purchases tied to the district.
