Also perhaps noteworthy that Foy's lawsuit (which was filed under the Fraud Against Taxpayers Act and seeks to recover more than $300 million for the State of New Mexico) went into limbo after the defendants Marc Correra and his father Anthony conveniently disappeared and several investment firms also named as defendants evaporated. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/22/ap/bu...

...as in the conduit former Chief Investment Officer for the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board Frank Foy's attorney Victor Marshall referred to when he said "because MAFF is shrouded in secrecy, no one knows whether Moving America Forward Foundation (a supposed nonprofit organization linked to Gov. Richardson and his political campaigns) was used as a conduit by people who wanted to buy business from the State of New Mexico”? http://www.sfreeper.com/2009/01/29/breaking-sta...

“Paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people.” US Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black (1886-1971)

NM politicians get away with telling their lies because members of the local press have to suck up to them in order to keep their jobs and in the process become pimps for those in power – no wonder these hacks are uncomfortable with ‘muckrakers’ who actually serve as a check and a balance on government.

Also: "Lauran Cowdrey, a former producer at KOB-TV, worked under a personal services contract for Denish during the Spring, Summer and Fall of 2004. She was paid from the federal funds transferred at Richardson’s direction into the Lt. Governor’s operating budget. Cowdrey submitted invoices to Denish’s office. These invoices contained a statement of “billable hours,” reporting the hours billed to the Lt. Governor each day, but not breaking out the time spent on each action item among the day’s activities. Cowdrey’s invoices were submitted to Sonya Carrasco-Trujillo in the Lt. Governor’s office, then Denish’s deputy chief-of-staff. Cowdrey took a job as a spokeswoman with the Albuquerque Public Schools after her work for Denish ended in November 2004. New Mexico Watchdog has not yet been able to contact Cowdrey directly." http://newmexico.watchdog.org/2009/11/09/did-de...

Speaking of stench, according to Jim Scarantino this morning (http://newmexico.watchdog.org/2009/11/09/did-de... 11/9/09): "A worker for Lt. Governor Diane Denish was paid from public funds for time billed on August 4, 2004, as “work on Kerry for Saturday.” That Saturday, on a train leased by his presidential campaign committee, John Kerry rolled into Las Vegas, New Mexico, for a political rally and then into Albuquerque for the night. A week before, the same worker in the Lt. Governor’s office billed and was paid for eight hours described as “DNC media binder, organizing clips, manning front office while Barbara attended day-long class.” “DNC” are commonly known as the initials of the Democratic National Committee. The same worker was later paid with public funds to work on Christmas cards distributed by Denish’s political election committee."
