Council meeting suspended amid conflict in small town Aguilar

The Town of Aguilar held its long-awaited May meeting of the Board of Trustees–albeit a bit tardy.  The June 6 council meeting saw progress made on some important issues facing the town including the appointment of a new trustee. However, long-running tensions between council members, town staff, and residents erupted into tense back-and-forths that saw the town administrator abandon the room and the council adjourn the meeting only halfway through the night’s agenda.
