More on NM Treasurer Scandal
Today's post by Joe Monahan on the continuing fall-out from the fraud indictments of ex-NM Treasurer Michael Montoya and current Treasurer Robert Vigil includes a link to the entire 30-page FBI affidavit filed in the case courtesy of the Santa Fe New Mexican.
An article in today's Santa Fe New Mexican has the latest developments, including Attorney General Patricia Madrid's announcement that she will seek to have Vigil removed from office if he doesn't resign.
Our original post on this issue can be found here. Your thoughts?

You know it's really pathetic that Madrid didn't show the same concern when Baca was busted with pot.
Madrid's move is so contrived and she hides behind the public's sense of media driven outrage.
She should just announce what her plans are for 2006, why not run for treasuer?

Somehow I think extortion to the tune of at least $650,000 is a bit more damning than a pot case that was thrown out.
But Madrid should have prosecuted Marty Chavez and company for the ABQPAC and police evidence room scandals. ABQPAC was nothing more than "polite" extortion, while the evidence room scandal was about outright stealing by the police.
