  • The latest on the ongoing land grab attempt and the second community meeting to reestablish our neighborhood association

      There was another pair of briefs filed by Solare’s attorney yesterday.

    There was a hearing on the quiet title suit on October 30th. It looks like this could drag on for some time and is getting into legal hair splitting. The main outcome of this hearing was that all the intervenors except one were removed from the suit and the whole outcome is based on a…

  • Dogs left at the Sanctuary and Correcting Misinformation.

    There are ten dogs left at the Taos Mesa Animal Sanctuary site according to what I’ve been told. These dogs have been described as “feral or semi feral” and not good candidates for adoption.
