But not without controversy

SANTA FE — A general membership meeting Oct. 30 in the Anasazi Room of El Dorado Hotel in Santa Fe saw Babette Herrmann, who owns and publishes the free Gallup Sun, officially elected to the position of president of the New Mexico Press Association, but not without objection.
