Commissioners say no to public statement in travel voucher investigation

Commissioners say no to public statement in travel voucher investigation Vice Chairman of the Otero County Commission Couy Griffin said there were parties, other than himself, responsible for Otero County s alleged violation of its own travel policy and the State s policy on travel reimbursements last year. Griffin asked his fellow Commissioners on May 13 to approve a public statement which he hoped would explain how the violation - a $3,237.48 reimbursement to Griffin in September 2019 to attend a conference in Washington, D.C. - occurred. County Commission Chairman Gerald Matherly and Otero County Commissioner Vickie Marquardt declined to discuss or approve such a statement. 

Otero County 100% reopen resolution failed

The resolution to reopen Otero County to pre-pandemic levels failed to pass at the Otero County Commission meeting April 8 in a 2 to 1 vote. The resolution was proposed by District 2 Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin, who was the sole vote in favor of passage. Commissioners Gerald Matherly and Vickie Marquardt voted against the measure.. Marquardt, District 3  commissioner, opened the discussion with a review of her conversation with New Mexico (Association of) Counties Executive Director Steve Kopelman.

   By Cedar Attanasio Associated Press / Report For America With less than a week remaining in the New Mexico legislative session, state senators are hashing out a proposal that could change the way education is funded for decades by increasing withdrawals from a unique $20 billion public endowment.
