Silver City, NM — Today, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent Western New Mexico University (WNMU) from disbursing a $1,909,788 severance payment to departing President Dr. Joseph Shepard. In seeking to prevent a gross misuse of funds appropriated to support the education of Western’s student population, the New Mexico Department of Justice (NMDOJ) argues that the Board of Regents acted “contrary to its fiduciary duty to the university, pledged public funds for a severance payment that is not supported by an employment contract, is not accompanied by legitimate consideration to the State, and is unconscionable as a violation of public policy and the public interest.”

Romeo CruzSilver City-Grant County Chamber of Commerce Director Romeo Cruz at the August monthly luncheon on Aug. 8, 2024, introduced Grant County Prospectors President Carlos Lucero.
Carlos Lucero"Thank you so much for being here to support our lieutenant governor, Howie Morales, today," Lucero said "I just want to talk to everybody a little bit about the Prospectors. The Prospectors is a community organization that advocates for the needs of Grant County. We do that by hosting our legislative forum, usually in November, where presenters have the opportunity to speak to our legislators one-on-one, and then we provide the legislators information when it gets up to the Roundhouse, so they can know exactly what our community needs. And then we also host a Grant County Day each year in Santa Fe to have the opportunity for everybody in Grant County to attend and see what does happen up there at our legislature. So thank you all for being here. We really appreciate it. Our officers for the Grant County Prospectors this year is myself as the president, Romeo and Bart Roselli, our first and second vice presidents, and then our treasurer is Vladimir Gnilozubov, and our secretary is Misty Pugmire."
