King’s Lax Investigation of SOS & King ON VIDEO Defending Drivers Licenses For Illegals
New Mexico Attorney General Gary King has been lax on investigating corruption at the New Mexico Secretary of State’s office. This is according to Rudy Martin, attorney for New Mexico Secretary of State whisteblower Manny Vildasol who has gone public with 190 pages of documentation showing SOS employees campaigning on state time and also political favoritism in contracts and etc.
Mr. Martin is quoted in a news article in the Rio Grande Sun newspaper saying the following: (http://www.riograndesun.com/articles/2010/09/02/news/doc4c7e903ddbd07443807233.txt(
“Besides accusations against Herrera, Martin has also accused state Attorney General Gary King of neglecting to properly investigate allegations against Herrera, including those made by Salazar more than six months ago. Both King and Herrera are Democrats, and both are up for re-election this year. Martin said Salazar was interviewed after he resigned by attorneys at the Attorney General’s Office, but nothing had been communicated to Salazar since about the investigation. He did say Flores was contacted by King’s office about the allegations, but not until Monday. King confirmed Monday his office has indeed opened an investigation into Salazar’s claims about wrongdoing in the Secretary of State’s office. But King was quick to emphasize that just because an investigation has begun does not mean Herrera has done anything illegal. Instead, he said the investigation will proceed as normal, and there will be no time line imposed because of the November general election in which both King and Herrera are seeking re-election. “If voters think I’m not pursuing this aggressively enough, they can vote for my opponent,” King said. “That’s how our system works.” Rank-and-file lawyers and investigators in the Attorney General’s office often aren’t replaced with a change in administration, so the investigators working on the Herrera case won’t be influenced by politics, according to King. Even if investigators hand over to King what they say is a complete case file, it’s not uncommon for King or other attorneys working on the case to raise further questions that require further investigation, King said.
King’s poor record speaks for itself. There has been no progress on now exposed Richardson administration corruption even though other states, like New York, and the federal government are moving forward with prosecutions. There has been no progress on corruption with the state investment council. There has been no progress…period.
Gary King…sees nothing, hears nothing.
Finally, Gary King was recently caught on video defending giving New Mexico drivers licenses to illegal aliens. Take a look:
Gary King…wrong on the issues and wrong for New Mexico.
