Las Cruces Council Meeting - May 4, 2026

The city’s minutes for this meeting were compared, sentence by sentence, against the transcript of the recording. Of 47 statements the minutes attribute to a named person, 46 were found in the recording.

Summarised — gaps worth reading. The comparison is mechanical and has no opinion about why two documents differ. A gap can be honest summarising; a mismatch can be the caption software mishearing. Both texts are shown so you can decide, and the correction form at the bottom is there for when the machine is wrong.

Jan Thompson: the minutes negate a sentence the recording does not (“nor”)

Says something different

Both records carry the same sentence, but they disagree on a number or on whether it was negative. The same sentence appears in both records, but the minutes contain “nor” where the recording has no negation. Around: “informed that these were going to happen nor were asked for their blessing”.

What the minutes say

Jan Thompson, Member of the Public said I am a person of faith and as a person of faith that I want to add my name to others who have already spoken regarding separation of church and state. I am aware of two instances that occurred within the last couple of months that violate the separation of church and state principle. I doubt very seriously that council was informed that these were going to happen nor were asked for their blessing regarding them, but I will hold council responsible for ensuring that this stops.
