I bet this place is wishing they had not given this award.
NM FOG - New Mexico Foundation for Open Government could be a great help to local citizens wanting information about what their local government is doing.
But can you trust them when they give this person an award? (Follow the link here)
When they realize they've been lied to -
The state has been watching Bosque Farms very closely attending meetings. Why?
When the attorney said "Do not include everyone in your emails - you are in danger of violating the open meeting acts". The Three Councilors fought with the attorney and said 'no we are not'.
You can attend meetings and see those three Councilors (with Desmet in the lead) voting after looking at each other. You can sit in the meetings and tell it's scripted.
Ask yourself why WHY they are having so many meetings at such different hours- 8am? 9am? 2pm? 4 in September alone. Some two days apart.
Why? Of course, because the public is busy and can't easily attend. Because there are so many meetings it's hard to stay on top of when they are and what they cover and what date they are.... How is that OPEN government?
A recent meeting was held in the fire department instead of the regular meeting room (that was available by the way). That is not open government.
