Taos contractors protest federal contract rules
Taos County building contractors accuse federal rules of blocking local bids on a $1.5 million low income housing project. President Buell Pattison cites bonding limits, with most firms unable to bond to $250,000, hindering competition. Housing Authority officials pledge to seek HUD waivers to split the project and favor local bidders.

Latir Peak wilderness area added to Carson study
The Latir Peak unit would add 26 000 acres to the Carson wilderness total of 34 600. Most objectors favored non wilderness grazing and jogging access while critics argued the rugged terrain lacked economic value. Environmentalists backed preservation, while mining and logging interests opposed it. Some areas near Red River and along Columbine-Hondo were dropped from wilderness designation, to be studied later for suitable use. Other sections were kept as non wilderness to support grazing and timber potential, with a focus on local ranch economies.
