Key New Mexico commissioner OK'd dubious expenses
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -
Emails from Santa Fe County Commissioner Henry Roybal released last week with an independent investigation into the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities showed Roybal gave his approval for reimbursements involving baseball tickets, expensive alcohol and fancy restaurant outings.
The emails show Roybal, as treasurer of the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities, rarely questioned the request for reimbursements which the New Mexico state auditor says were improper.
The Regional Coalition of LANL Communities is an agency made of nine northern New Mexico cities, counties and pueblos surrounding the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory. The group promotes the economy in connection with the lab.
Roybal didn't immediately return an email from The Associated Press.
