Deborah Fox has this story in the Valencia County News-Bulletin, reporting that the New Mexico Supreme Court has denied the City of Belen’s request to review a recent Court of Appeals decision, which held that the Village of Los Lunas has standing to challenge a decision by Valencia County to locate a hospital in Belen.
Los Lunas sued Valencia County, arguing that one of the county commissioners who voted in Belen’s favor was ineligible. The district court ruled that Los Lunas lacked standing, but the Court of Appeals disagreed.
