Former head of NMFA sues Gov.

Gov. Martinez

The former top executive of the New Mexico Finance Authority has filed a lawsuit against Gov. Susana Martinez and one of her cabinet secretaries for failing to release public records requested in April. 

Ex-CEO Rick May brought the lawsuit Wednesday in state district court in Santa Fe against Martinez and Finance and Administration Secretary Tom Clifford. May was fired last year after the discovery that the authority's financial audit had been faked. 
The authority's former comptroller, Greg Campbell, later pleaded guilty to forgery and securities fraud. A state auditor's report determined that Campbell acted alone and took no money. 

The lawsuit seeks damages and a court order requiring the release of requested documents, including email and other correspondence between administration officials and NMFA board members since 2011.
