THE POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT OF NEW MEXICO’S SECRETARY OF STATE TAKES A MAJOR STEP FORWARD MONDAY. THAT’S WHEN A SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE LOOKING INTO CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST DIANNA DURAN MEETS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
HOUSE SPEAKER DON TRIPP SAYS THIS PANEL WON’T BE MAKING ANY FINAL DECISIONS ON IMPEACHMENT. HE SAYS IT’S AN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE THAT WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE STATE HOUSE IF IT’S DECIDED THAT’S WHAT IT WANTS TO DO.
DURAN FACES FRAUD, MONEY LAUNDERING, EMBEZZLEMENT AND OTHER CHARGES FOR ALLEGEDLY MIS-USING CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
