It's the old liberal Democrat elitist mantra: Rules for thee, but not for me.
It appears that New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has been busted (again!) over living lavishly on the taxpayers' dime during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
If that the Stop MLG press release says its true, it looks like she partied and lived high on the hog while people suffered and lost jobs and businesses. She's done this before and was exposed.
They begin with:
While New Mexicans were ordered to stay home and state recreational areas were under strict lockdown during the COVID-19 Health Emergency, Governor Grisham may have enjoyed her time on the lake, boating.
Santa Fe, NM – Thursday, September 15, 2022 – Inspection of Public Records obtained through the Department of Finance reveals Governor Grisham may have been defying her emergency health orders to enjoy boating, parties, and travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brett Kokinadis, Director of Stop MLG and the First Vice-Chair of the Republican Party of Santa Fe county, requested contingency fund and purchasing card “p-card” reports from January 1, 2020, from the Department of Finance. Forty-nine documents contained nearly 1,000 pages of expenditures that were responsive detailing expenses of Governor Grisham, the Governor’s Staff, and the Governor’s State police security details “p-card” reports.
Reports included certificates for boating safety courses, VRBO lodging, Navajo Lake Marina fees, and boating packages.
“There are nearly 1,000 pages of receipts containing lavish catered items and alcohol for large parties, excessive daily shopping, travel, and even perhaps activities in Taos, Vail, and boating on a Navajo lake. All this while the Governor scolded New Mexicans and ordered them to stay indoors, away from loved ones, and left to stand in the cold for groceries.”, Kokinadis continued.
