NM FBI Public Corruption Hotline

From therepublic.com -The New Mexico FBI's weeks-old public corruption hotline has received complaints about everything from high utility bills to problems with Internet orders. But so far, a top official said, it hasn't gotten anything he would characterize as "the juicy, insider phone calls" that could lead to prosecutions. That doesn't mean the FBI thinks the state, which has had its share of public corruption scandals over the years, is now free of them. More likely, people just aren't aware of the hotline, might not know what public corruption actually is — or aren't reporting it because they're involved, the agency said. "Public corruption is kind of one of those unique violations where if everybody's happy, if everybody's making money, there are very few complaints," said Rodney Miller, assistant special agent in charge of the criminal branch in the FBI office in Albuquerque. "As everybody's kind of benefiting from public corruption, there's no need to report it unless there's a falling out or we develop some great sources."  More News New Mexico
