Decision on Taos County planning director delayed
Taos County officials last week delayed choosing a new Planning Department director. County Manager Robert Dale Morrison will interview the favored candidate first, after a six-member panel pared its list on Oct. 2. The position has been open since September 1999 when former director David DiCicco resigned and filed a civil rights suit, unresolved. The county also lists openings for a legal secretary, adult and juvenile detention officers, and two emergency medical technician paramedic roles.

Molycorp reclamation could boost Questa economy
An Amigos Bravos Ecology and Law Institute study estimates a 200 million reclamation of the Molycorp Mine would yield 671 to 932 million in market and non market benefits over 20 years, supporting about 772 jobs. The plan includes soil cover, replanting, and river restoration potential, with bonds and costs under state rules guiding closure and reclamation.
