Cougar Canyon ‘quagmire’ continues as next steps still remain unclear
Solutions to solving the Cougar Canyon “quagmire” are still being developed, with talks potentially moving into private sessions, although at least one elected official involved believes that would not be the right direction, after Las Animas County and Trinidad officials reopened discussions last month. During a joint work session between the city and county Tuesday, March 14, called by county officials, Trinidad Mayor Phil Rico suggested the discussions move into executive session, to sort out some of the issues before ideas are brought forth again to the public.
