Inside the team, things have been less rosy. When a reporter filed a complaint in September of 2019 alleging bullying and harassment by Marizco, other employees interviewed by investigators echoed his concerns. They said Marizco routinely cursed and yelled while berating subordinates, hanging up on them abruptly if he became irritated. Two said that Marizco screaming or yelling at them had affected their health due to increased anxiety.
“It was terrible, one former Fronteras reporter told
New Times. Imagine ending your workday in tears several times a week. Imagine ending your workday angry and frustrated and having nowhere to turn.
Despite Marizco s denials of wrongdoing, the investigation ultimately found that he had engaged in bullying and unprofessional behavior. It dismissed several additional allegations, but sustained a charge of discriminatory conduct based on comments Marizco made, including allegedly telling one employee he counted his days like a Jewish account

NASA has announced that it will invest more than $45 million in the proposals of 365 American small businesses as part of the agency s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
The programs fund the research, development and demonstration of innovative technologies that fulfill NASA s needs.
In addition, NASA requires that proposals from small businesses for the funding have significant potential for successful commercialization, according to the SBIR/STTR website. These small businesses and research institutions represent the latest wave of innovators working to develop their game-changing concepts for potential infusion in a NASA mission and, ideally, eventual commercialization, NASA SBIR/STTR program executive Jason L. Kessler told FOX Business via email Tuesday night.
LOS LUNAS â Kristen Gamboa, who became senior economic developer for the village of Los Lunas following the retirement of Ralph Mims, has large plans to assist in general growth of the village as pandemic-related restrictions begin to lift across the state.

A Cedar Springs manufacturer received a grant from NASA for a thermoplastics welding technology process it is developing for use in space.
Bill Dykstra, president and owner of Cedar Springs-based Temper Inc., received a $100,000 phase I grant from NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, the agency said last week.
Temper Inc. will use the grant for the welding of thermoplastic composites using smart susceptor technology, according to the manufacturer’s grant proposal.
“Humanity’s future in space requires technologies that enable long-duration, long-endurance missions to support human exploration and habitation. Essential to this goal is servicing, assembly and manufacturing outside of Earth’s gravity,” the proposal said. “Upon completion of the proposed work, Temper hopes to provide proof of concept of a fast, low-energy and reliable method for welding
