Commissioners say no to public statement in travel voucher investigation
Vice Chairman of the Otero County Commission Couy Griffin said there were parties, other than himself, responsible for Otero County s alleged violation of its own travel policy and the State s policy on travel reimbursements last year.
Griffin asked his fellow Commissioners on May 13 to approve a public statement which he hoped would explain how the violation - a $3,237.48 reimbursement to Griffin in September 2019 to attend a conference in Washington, D.C. - occurred.
County Commission Chairman Gerald Matherly and Otero County Commissioner Vickie Marquardt declined to discuss or approve such a statement.
