A reasonable person listens to a District Court judge when he issues an order from the bench. Once youâve been dragged through depositions, examinations, records searches and arguments, the judge has the final say.    Our local electric cooperative isnât that quick on the take-up. While we celebrated the departure of John Tapia, who was a clear roadblock to public access, the remaining staff and lack of oversight by the Board of Trustees has Jemez Mountains Electric Cooperative on a path that will lead back to District Court Judge Jason Lidyard.    Lidyard made no bones about his decision on our records fight that ended in a Nov. 20, 2020 decision by Lidyard that the Co-op must produce all the documents requested by the Rio Grande SUN, including vouchers for payments to vendors, board books, supporting financial information, among other things.
