Where does the money Los Alamos county gets from the GRT tax go? I am not making this up. So the coalition misused money, as such the county will spend 50k to investigate the misuse of the money. I think we should keep for profit model so that the county can get even more money to utterly waste.
Los Alamos County Council was asked to consider spending an additional $20,000 on an ethics investigation into the county’s role in a funding controversy regarding the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities Tuesday.
The county has already spent $30,000 since March to look into whether councilors were involved in a questionable expenses of coalition funds during a trip to Washington, D.C.
In February, allegations surfaced that former Executive Director Andrea Romero made between $1,800-$2,000 in unauthorized travel expenses while coalition members and councilor Rick Reiss were on a business trip in Washington, D.C., in September 2017 to talk to LANL officials and New Mexico’s congressional representatives about the community’s interests.
Romero acted as host to coalition and government officials during meetings with government officials.
“One of the most important priorities we have as councilors is to make sure tax dollars are spent appropriately,” said Councilor Susan O’Leary Tuesday

This has zero impact on LLNS or LANS employees since we are not federal employees.

Phooey. After about 30 years of service I'm finally looking to retire so I would actually welcome a VSIP now.
