LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) Dona Ana County commissioners are scheduled Friday to consider possibly reprimanding county Treasurer David Gutierrez. A hearing on the possible censure of Gutierrez is the only topic on the agenda for a special meeting. According to the Las Cruces Sun-News, it's not specified why the commission will consider the possible censure.
Commission Chairman Billy Garrett says it relates to the county's code of conduct but he says officials can't say more until the meeting. Gutierrez declined to comment. He's been treasurer since January 2009.
The county's code of conduct specifies that an outside investigation of elected officials can be called for if there are alleged violations of the code. That process can result in a censure hearing.
