• Tularosa Trustees Delay Employee Raises Until Finance Director Can Attend (town.news) — Tularosa's Board of Trustees has postponed decisions on village employee raises until Monday evening, when the finance director can attend and explain the budget impact. Trustees debated whether unbudgeted raises should come from department funds or the general fund, while one court employee learned a previously approved raise may be owed retroactively. The board will reconvene at 6 p.m. Monday to revisit the issue.
