"It's a big mess. I'm not going to mince my words," Governor Susana Martinez said today in speaking about the situation in Sunland Park – a community of several thousand that are practically surrounded by the west Texas town of El Paso.
Sunland Park’s government is at a stand still – corruption everywhere.
It's reported that Mayor-elect Daniel Salinas and City Manager Jaime Aguilera are not talking to investigators. Both have been charged with suspicion of extortion and the courts have told them not to be on city property or to talk to municipal employees.
How do they do their job, or who does their job?
The State Auditor says the investigation includes these charges: purchases by the city of goods and services; payments to “questionable vendors;” incorrect payments to city councilors; incorrect water billings; use of money for travel; and daily expense allowances for those on city business.
The State Auditor needs Jack Webb to get just the facts.
Oh, wasn't Governor Martinez once the District Attorney in that part of the state?
