Interesting timing. Doña Ana County has issued a directive prohibiting employees from recording conversations or workplace activities without written permission from the County Manager, with only limited exceptions. County leadership says the goal is to reduce distrust, encourage open dialogue, and avoid creating additional public records subject to IPRA requests. Public transparency and employee accountability often depend on documentation. Policies like this raise important questions: Who does this protect? Employees? Managers? The public? Read it for yourself and decide. #ProjectJupiter #DoñaAnaCounty #NewMexico
