Tom Romero |
State lawmakers are questioning the sudden and mysterious firing
of state lottery chief Tom Romero – and the golden parachute that seems to be
coming his way in the form of severance pay.
$265,000 is the amount the state
still owes Romero under his contract that runs until August 2015. Lottery
officials say they don’t owe that whole amount, but they won’t say how much
Romero will get.
Republican State Rep. Bill Rehm of Albuquerque has tried to ban golden
parachutes like this one for years.
Romero ran the lottery for eight years. He
is a former police officer with the state Department of Public Safety.
