Gov. appoints a pair to the NMFA board

The Senate has confirmed two board members of the New Mexico Finance Authority, which was caught in a scandal last year over a fake audit. 

Clovis businessman Blake Curtis was unanimously confirmed and Albuquerque lawyer Nann Winter won confirmation on a 34-3 vote in the Senate on Monday. 

Curtis is a former state legislator. Winter serves as the authority's board chairwoman. 

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez appointed the pair to the board overseeing the authority, which provides low-cost financing for capital improvements by cities, counties, schools and other New Mexico governments.
