Taos Town Council Vacancy Attracts Two Candidacies
Former town councilman Fernando Valdez and former state legislator Bobby Duran filed to run for the vacant Taos Town Council seat. A special election is set for July 22 to fill the position. Duran is an El Prado insurance agent and has served in the Legislature. Valdez, also an insurance agent, finished his last council term in 1984. The council previously appointed Santistevan mayor to fill the late Phil Lovato’s seat, but deadlocked on a replacement as Ruben Martinez was named by Santistevan with minimal support and did not file to run.

Taos teacher union questions cuts facing 29.5 positions
Taos Federation of United School Employees challenges the school board and administration over a planned 29.5 job reduction. Nancy Morales says most layoffs hit elementary teachers while enrolment drops affect grades 7 through 12, and questions a 104 student loss and $275,000 revenue impact. Outgoing president Liz Moya accuses blame on a $2,200 statewide raise for teachers.
