Taos County audit flags housing authority fiscal issues
The Taos County audit for July 1990 to June 1991 criticizes the housing authority for misused public funds and poor records. Officials say most problems were fixed after new leadership in 1991, with two former housing authority employees pledging guilty to embezzlement and awaiting April sentencing. Other county offices also faced critique, including use of gas credit cards by Commissioner Fernandez.
