As previously reported by AlamogordoTownNews.org and the CloudcroftReader.com the mayor of the village abruptly resigned during a special session last week. The trustees were in shock by the action and have convened a special session for Tuesday December 10th at 6 pm. The agenda for this special meeting is below…

Seemingly the issue to provoke the resignation of Mayor Turner was the resignation of the village clerk, Julie Pinson, and his feeling of inadequacy in persuading a majority of the village trustees to hire a financial assistant to further aid the village in catch up and cleanup of its books. The letter of resignation from the clerk, Pinson is below…

Details have emerged via investigations by the Cloudcroft Reader that show Mayor Turner’s frustration. In reporting by the Cloudcroft Reader only a few days before the December 5th Special Meeting, Turner told the Reader he “felt like a failure” in light of Pinson’s resignation. “The normal responsibility of the leader is to give his people the resources and tools to win. And if you don’t do that, you’re failing as a leader. I’m failing as a leader, I think.”
“I can’t give them the resources that they need. And you might say, well, it’s not your vote, it’s the trustees’ vote, but I must be doing something wrong to not convince them that we need help.”

One correction is needed in the “New America” story: Ron deSantis is the governor of Florida, Greg Abbott is the Texas governor.
Sunny, with a high of 101 and low of 71 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear overnight.
To improve Alamogordo, let's revert to the founding principles - only landowners should vote. Carpetbaggers like this ******* should go back to the plantation in Mississippi.
Regarding Let’s Grow Alamo. Shouldn't a professional consultant with expertise in this area tell us what will work? Trolling for the public to be "brutally honest" will produce a report filled with excuses, not good ideas, because if anyone here had one, they'd be doing it already, and they aren't.
Seems like the city continues to have projects that go into cost overruns pretty consistently. Maybe watch out for the cost overruns on the Natatorium and see who profits…
If the City hired a qualified construction company, THEY should have bid on the appropriate materials for the job. In this change order, it seems they either didn’t know that the mammoth fire trucks would require a thick concrete pad, or they lowballed their bid, only to come back with this change order.
Another unqualified XX-firebrand wearing an empty suit that's all hat and no cattle. This blog's mountebank has no shortage of self-appointed experts who love to rabble-rouse. The reality is, she could run, but knows that, due to her narcissism, she couldn't get the voters to act on her short-term clickbait.
I seem to remember reading a quote about those that don’t want to change the system, just that they want to be in charge.
