From
Capitol Report New Mexico - One day after
a rambunctious committee meeting hearing in the Roundhouse in which whistleblower
Frank Foy and his attorney Victor Marshall once again called for the recusal of state attorney general
Gary King from taking the lead in a lawsuit aimed at recovering millions of dollars in alleged “pay to play” schemes, a district court judge declared that Foy’s objections to King don’t have any standing. King is heading an amended lawsuit on behalf of the
State Investment Council (SIC) and district court Judge Stephen Pfeffer announced that the SIC has sole responsibility to decide if there is a conflict of interest and that Foy, therefore, has no standing to request a recusal. Foy and Marshall have called for King to step aside because of what they say could be a conflict of interest on King’s part because the attorney general received
$54,848 in campaign contributions from then-Gov. Bill Richardson’s campaign in 2006. A number of Richardson associates have been named in the amended SIC lawsuit in connection to “pay to play” schemes.
