County seeks new Llano waste site for Taos area
Taos County and La Serna Grant officials search for a new Llano Queimado landfill site with mountains on both sides and an arroyo that avoids heavy water flow. Two possible sites are a mile up the road, away from houses, with improved access and fire safeguards included in a new agreement. The old dump remains open by court order, and officials aim to bury abandoned cars there or at the new site once selected.

Taos County turns down Siegel special dispenser permit
The Taos County Commission rejected Richard B. Siegel’s request for a special dispenser permit for an ethnic food and music celebration, fearing it would pave the way to a permanent liquor license. Siegel had been denied a license last year and has since obtained several one-time permits for special occasions. Commission concerns focused on the growing number of one-time permits and the potential transfer of a liquor license to the location.

A voter appeared in a different precinct and another waited in cold for 10 minutes at 8 a.m. before discovering four names on the ballot register. Walter F. Herrera won magistrate judge position one with 300-200 in Ranchos and 218-144 in Talpa, a correction to The Taos News report.
