Balderas and Lyons.....He Said, She Said

New Mexico State Auditor Hector Balderas and State Land Commissioner Patrick Lyons seem to have differences of opinion. The Balderas office spent untold hours and resources investigating decisions made by the State Land Commissioner's office over the last two years. The inquiry came after members of the New Mexico House of Representatives requested Balderas do an audit. Balderas final findings are finally in and they seem to lead to most observers towards a new level of ambiguity. The 71 page auditor's report can be read by clicking the highlighted link. And both of outgoing State Land Commissioner Patrick Lyons' responses......... #1 and #2 can be perused here. If you combine all three of these documents you will find there are nearly 170 pages of information.

After our first look and read of some of the facts and particularly the interpretations in dispute, we think this looks like a case of He Said, She Said. Will New Mexico Attorney General Gary King do anything to follow up on inferences made by Balderas? Don't bet too much on it. He's busy trying to get indicted former Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron to trial as her successor prepares to leave office.
