Taos Town Considers Fulltime Municipal Judge
The Taos Town Council moved to raise the municipal judgeship to a four year fulltime post with a $15 000 salary and candidates will run in March elections. Despite declines in cases and revenues over three years supporters cite faster warrants and potential jail cost savings while critics note the town pays a fixed county jail bill and judge pay remains high for a town of its size. The voters should decide whether the fulltime judge meets the council’s promises and whether to reconsider in four years.
