WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE YOU’RE SENDING AN EMAIL TO THE PERSON YOU INTENDED IT FOR. RIO RANCHO CITY COUNCILOR CHERYL EVERETT IS FACING AN ETHICS COMPLAINT AFTER FIRING OFF AN EMAIL CRITICAL OF JUDGE ROBERT COOK AND USING THE “F” WORD. IT WENT TO JUDGE ROBERT COOK, WHO FILED THE ETHICS COMPLAINT AGAINST EVERETT. SHE SAYS SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS SENDING THE EMAIL TO A FRIEND WHO SHARED HER FEELINGS ABOUT THE JUDGE.
COOK WANTED A SPOT ON THE AGENDA FOR A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SO HE CALLED EVERETT ON SEPTEMBER 28TH. EVERETT SAID SHE WAS VISITING FRIENDS AND WOULD CALL HIM THE NEXT DAY. THEN SHE SENT THE EMAIL, THINKING IT WENT TO HER FRIEND. SHE SENT IT ON A CITY-ISSUED CELL PHONE, WHICH JUDGE COOK CALLED “IMPROPER.”
