Braden and Independents Clash Over Conejos County Reports
A heated defense of Conejos County officials by supporters of Braden and allies contrasts with independent critics who demanded expert audits. The Continental Trust Co. and D. E. Newcomb reports found the treasurer and other offices to be well run, while bondsman Fred Warshauer paid beyond the required amount, shielding taxpayers from further litigation. Citizens are urged to see the reports for themselves.
