| State Auditor Hector Balderas |
From KOB-TV.com - By: Chris Ramirez, KOB Eyewitness News 4 - The Torrance County Commission alleges the New Mexico State Auditor violated his own rules when he gave an interview to 4 On Your Side reporter Chris Ramirez. The commission voted yesterday to send Auditor Hector Balderas a scolding letter. "I would like to send a letter of complaint to the state auditor," said County Commissioner Lonnie Freyburger. "I believe he is in violation of that policy and I would like for the county to send a letter of complaint to the state auditor that we don't like it." Freyburger believes Balderas gave findings of an audit into questionable contracts to the media before giving the findings to the county. Freyburger believes that is a violation of state rules. Balderas said he hasn’t revealed findings of the audit to the media because the audit isn’t complete. Balderas thinks the commission is resisting efforts from his office to look into how commissioners spend public money specifically, why $700,000 worth of contracts all went to one vendor. It’s a question many in Torrance County have asked.
Balderas said once he started asking questions, the county commission stiffed armed him. read more
