GRANTS, NM –After allegations came out regarding County Commissioner and Code Enforcer Robert Windhorst, Windhorst has still refused to comment on the situation, the city has also refused to comment stating that there is currently an investigation underway.
A Facebook post was made on May 8 alleging that Grants Code Enforcer and Cibola County Commissioner Robert Windhorst threw oil in a local business’s dumpster. The post included two photos and read, “When Grants Code Enforcer Robert Scott Windhorst throws oil in the trash can at a local business. Which you’re not supposed to throw in the trash can per waste management. And you can see him clearly on camera doing so in a city vehicle. And he refuses to clean it up but yet brags about cleaning up the city.” (sic.)
The Cibola Citizen reached out to Robert Windhorst on May 13 for comment, but he refused an interview after initially asking to speak at the newspaper office.
On May 14, just before 11 a.m., Windhorst submitted a letter to the editor. The Citizen again asked Windhorst for comment. The newspaper did not hear back before press time.
On June 6, following Coffee with the Managers the Citizen reached out to City Manager Andrew Valencia through email and received a response that at this time the city has no comment due to an ongoing investigation.
