Balderas and Lyons Feud Resumes

Patrick Lyons
State Auditor and U.S. Senate candidate Hector Balderas and Patric Lyons are at it again. According to a story posted on the KOB TV website, Lyons who is Public Regulation Commission Chairman has welcomed an independent auditor to go over the books of the PRC. His comments come in the wake of a decision by Balderas who is State Auditor, to withdraw from a previously announced audit of the Public Regulation Commission.
According to Balderas, Lyons has been trying to obstruct an examination of travel records and other expenses at the PRC. Originally the audit was initiated as a follow up to allegations made against PRC member Jerome Block Jr. who is now facing an impeachment investigation by a sub-committee of the NM House of Representatives.
Hector Balderas
Lyons has responded to Balderas attacks by saying he lacks confidence in the state auditor's office because of his experiences when it audited the State Land Office when Lyons served as state land commissioner there.
According to the KOB TV story Balderas has accused Lyons of verbally abusive to his staff calling them a "bunch of snakes." Balderas also had some harsh comments for what he called "Tea Party Republicans" on his twitter page early today. Balderas tweeted the following: Tea Party Republicans: tax cuts for rich and less food stamps for poor. Stand with me and tell them they're wrong.
