A step, one small step, in the right direction! Instead of five, six, ten meetings a month anytime one of the three want to cause havoc there will be two a month!

Isn't that lovely? No more running around before a meeting trying to eat, get there only to find out it started an hour earlier or it starts in thirty minutes. No more guessing where the meeting will be held.

Two meetings a month!

The REAL question though is this: HOW did the Village of Bosque Farms get anything done since 1974 when it was incorporated?

According to those asked - at least over the last 40 years there has been ONE meeting a month.

What is this Council doing different? There is an answer to that question - it's called not following the separation of powers and trying to act like a mayor when, even as three, they are not.

So - in passing one of us was asked - why so many posts on one day?

I chose to take this one on and answer for my self.

Because there is so much wrong.

Because there is a big hope the residents of Bosque Farms will see this and understand what is wrong. The lack of ethics, the threats, the screaming, the multiple meetings held as a way to ensure you can't attend, etc are all wrong. I have much hope that the residents of Bosque Farms are smart enough to see documents, read laws and start to say 'enough!'

Because there is a very faint hope that one councilor one wife of a councilor will see this - and maybe, just maybe, at least one councilor will realize they are doing all kind of things wrong.

Because there is a faint hope that someone might see that and step up to help.

So what is wrong? Take your pick. Any one meeting might have

• threats,
• yelling
• swearing
• law breaking (yes really - go read the ordinances that manage meetings yourself).

Add to it

• non-emergency meetings called as an emergency
• so many meetings held - possibly as an effort to cover up what is happening (?)
  • ethical issues overlooked
  • rolling quorums

There is more... Any one meeting includes all of the above.

There are a lot of wonderful employees here at Village of Bosque Farms and also Town of Peralta! I think a lot of them are behind the scenes and you may not know what they do or how they can help! Once a week I’ll be posting a “get to know” an employee/department for both Bosque Farms and Peralta!! Enjoy our first “get to know” post!

Councilor Desmet posted this whole thing about an employee on this date. (You can go look it up if you want, that employee is gone and so the name doesn't matter).

Since then how many once a week positive posts have you seen? Two? Three? Promises not kept.

Maybe that's because someone (like the clerk administrator at the time? an attorney? her training?) pointed out that employee management is not her lane to be in?

Even so, something nice and positive posted would be nice rather than the constant yelling and complaining.

This is who should get the award from NM FOG. Way to go Valencia News Bulletin.

Only question I have - when you see this link on FB you see comments have been hidden. Click on those comments and they are supportive of the Mayor. Why would those be hi

The Mayor follows protocol and ordinances and state law. The Mayor makes sure meetings run smoothly (Presuming everyone else follows the ordinances!)
