Socorro City Council Notes

Ah yes, just when you think Socorro is to be over-shadowed more stuff happens. So here are a few quick notes about some developments in Soco-Loco:

Anthony Gandara was elected to complete the term of the late Chito Bowling. Bowling passed away after thumping former District 4 City Rep Jesse "Little Jessie" Gandara. Little Jessie and the rest of G-Unit don't want to give up a hold on Socorro city politics and Anthony Gandara is going to seek re-election in the next round of city elections. Word around the campfire in Campestre is there are already a few people ready to step up.

Speaking of Gandaras - Jessie's ally Refugio Orta just got a pay check from the Socorro city council. Its not a lot, about $800, but it was for compensation of things like a jacket and gloves and other stuff. When you look in the back up for the meeting there really isn't sufficient info there.

I also heard that there is yet another movida happening having to do with property. On an upcoming agenda item a sitting member of council wants to have the city rent one of his properties. Not only does he want that to happen, but if that were to happen, then public fund could be expended to improve his private land. I'm working on getting more details on that one, so I'll follow up with more information soon.
