Trujillo Faces Second Suspected Illegal Subdivision
Taos County developer Trujillo is accused of a second illegal subdivision in Las Colonias after an earlier 1994 parcel case. The state AG’s office and Taos County officials had moved toward a settlement over the initial violation, but negotiations stalled as new evidence is reviewed. The Taos News first raised the second subdivision concern based on county clerk documents.
