| Albuquerque, January 6—The Republican Party of New Mexico released the following statement regarding Spaceport America ex-CFO’s lawsuit against Gov. Lujan Grisham and her administration for violating New Mexico’s Whistleblower Protection Act. Zach DeGregorio claimed he was forced to resign after he revealed Lujan Grisham and state government officials colluded to defraud taxpayers of $200 million in public money. The lawsuit claims the Governor and state government officials committed financial malfeasance, fraud, conspiracy and other illegal activity. Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce has released these comments on the revelations: “It’s shocking to hear that this kind of malfeasance and corruption continues to happen in the corridors of state government in Santa Fe. Gov. Lujan Grisham seems to delight in doing what she wants at the expense of taxpayers. She and her administration continue to abuse their power, break the rules and assume there are no consequences for actions. She is not fit to serve another term, and Lujan Grisham’s legacy will be one of failure and wrongdoing. Whether it’s sexual harassment, breaking her own pandemic rules or allowing illegal activity at CYFD and ineptitude at the Workforce Solutions Department, this Governor has exceeded her authority, stripped New Mexicans of their freedoms and deceived New Mexicans for years. Voters should go to the polls this fall and show their displeasure by kicking her out of office.” |
