Will Hector Balderas Take Time off from the Campaign to Audit Workforce Solutions?

In a recent report the U.S. Department of Labor announced that New Mexico ranks as the 3rd worst state in the nation in terms of incorrectly paying unemployment claims. The ratio of bad claims paid by those in charge of the state's unemployment fund was 28% in 2010. And the total amount of taxpayer dollars wasted was more than $97 million.
This troubling report raises serious questions for New Mexico’s working citizens and working employers. Why should administrative incompetence of this magnitude be tolerated? Where is the outrage? And more important, where is U.S. Senate candidate Hector Balderas……who is also drawing a salary as the taxpayer's State Auditor?

In the most recently ended special legislative session, Senator John Arthur Smith and Governor Susana Martinez did their best to work together to try to come up with ways to sure up the state’s dwindling unemployment fund. And there seems to be vague grumblings from behind the scenes suggesting that managerial reforms might eventually be forthcoming. However, in the meantime, when Balderas hasn’t been engaged in well publicized urination contests with PRC commissioner Patrick Lyons, he has been out on the campaign trail trying to bolster his chances of beating primary opponent Martin Heinrich in the fundraising game. So far, there has not been a peep from Balderas about a sorely needed audit of the $97 million per year leaking sieve, known as the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions.
