INVESTMENTS MADE BY BERNALILLO COUNTY TREASURER MANNY ORTIZ NOW HAVE THE ATTENTION OF STATE INVESTIGATORS. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS SOME OF THE COUNTY'S TOP EXECUTIVES AND COMMISSIONERS HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWED. ORTIZ'S INVESTMENTS HAVE COME UNDER SCRUTINY AFTER IT WAS LEARNED THE COUNTY LOST MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS RECENTLY WHEN ORTIZ SOLD BONDS AT A LOSS TO PAY EXPENSES.
ORTIZ MAINTAINS HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG.
