Bernalillo Co. Commission censures Wiener

From KOB-TV.com - By: Marissa Torres  - Bernalillo County Commissioners voted to reprimand a fellow commissioner. Michael Wiener has been under fire since KOB Eyewitness News 4 first revealed a photo he had taken with a group of women in a red light district in the Philippines. In emotional meeting Tuesday night, the commission voted to censure him. This censure is basically the commission taking a public stance against Wiener and showing their strong disapproval of his actions. It does not actually remove him from his position. Tuesday, Wiener and Commissioner Wayne Johnson rescued themselves from the vote. It was then left up to the three Democrats, Chair Commissioner Art de la Cruz, Michelle Lujan Grisham, and Maggie hart Stebbins. They voted 3-to-0 to censure Wiener. Wiener stayed quiet through it all and waited to give statement after the vote. He said he respected the commission's decision to censure him, but he would not step down and is continuing his re-election campaign. read more
