Romero case awaits hearing in Taos district court
The case of former Taos Junior High teacher Trankie Romero waits for a district court hearing before advancing to the State Board of Education. District Judge will rule on a writ seeking to disqualify a state attorney general officer hearing Romero’s appeal. The board’s hearing officer is Mary Ann Hughes. The petition argues potential conflict if the matter goes to the Court of Appeals where the AG’s office would represent the board. Romero was fired last year over charges of criminal sexual contact with a minor. No district court date has been set for the hearing.

Taos Snowpack Above Normal Across Area Measures
Taos area snowpack sits about 25 percent above normal per USCS official Dan Ruiz. Winter precipitation helped. February was slightly below normal, but other measures keep forecasts for adequate to abundant summer water. Areas like Gallegos Peak Red River and Taos Canyon show higher water content and snow depths, with overall 100 percent open ski slopes and expectations of normal to above normal runoff.

Acequia Leaders Press For State Support In Taos Area
Acequia leaders led by Andres Martinez push for state aid and a formal acequia board after Gov Toney Anaya met with Dutch associations in January. Legislation would fund maintenance and dam repairs, with $500000 already allocated and matched by state cash. A water task force and possible Water Resource Department are proposed as measures move through the legislature.
