Auditors Find Criminal Intent in Olona Case at Taos School
A state audit of Taos Municipal Schools found $11,000 in unsupported payments to or for business manager Mike Olona. Olona, hired January, was placed on paid administrative leave in July by superintendent Andrew Gallegos. A closed executive-session hearing on his future is set for Aug 29 at 9 am to decide on termination or reinstatement. The audit cites one $300 check paid to Olona's landlord and auditors say the report will influence the hearing.

Manos Amigas Thrift Store Faces Closure Over Dumping
Mary Ocanas, a longtime volunteer at Manos Amigas behind San Francisco de Asis Church, says dumping near the thrift store threatens its operation and may force a closure if behavior does not stop. The store accepts clothes, housewares, books, and toys, but garbage, large items, and animal remains have created safety and cost concerns. Ocanas, who has run the shop with Secular Franciscans for eight years, reports dogs, burglars, and piles of refuse especially when the landfill is closed, and notes two puppies died after being dumped nearby. The store operates Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with donations accepted during open hours or by appointment. The article also notes similar dumping issues at a separate nonprofit thrift shop run by Community Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.

New Taos car purchase stirs teachers union concerns
Taos teachers union officials back the superintendent Andrew Gallegos’ right to a new 1996 $16,000 car but question funding. They say the 1989 Eagle Premier, replaced in June, was in poor shape and insist the purchase wasn’t shown in the 1995-96 or 1996-97 budget recommendations. Acting business manager Vicky Martinez said funds came from operational instructional support.
