More from Soco-Loco...
Canal 26 will have a story tonight about an issue going on in Socorro you should see.
Ralph Duran, who is the guy who is leading the recall effort against the four members of Socorro City Council that pushed for a recall against Mayor Willie Gandara following his recent trip to the FBI headquarters, has gotten in to some trouble with the city over his private possessions on city property.
The City of Socorro has been going through several efforts to clean up the city, either through code enforcement or passing of new ordinances. Details are a little sketchy right now but it looks like Duran was cited/warned a couple of times about removing his "junk" from city property in a cul-de-sac are where he owns property.
Duran was given a certain period of time to comply and until today, hadn't. Apprarently the city went over to either enforce the ordinance and remove the material and bill him for the costs, or to survey the area to determine exactly what part of the land is his and what part is the city's.
Willie Gandara Jr sent his company's vehicles to help Mr. Duran, who is a political ally of Gandara's father Willie Sr, move his stuff. Witnesses say Gary Gandara, brother of Willie Jr and son of Willie Sr, was actually driving one of the vehicles to remove the material.
