The Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation and the Los Alamos Ski Club join other New Mexico non-profit organizations and local and tribal governments to share in $1 million awarded this fiscal year through the New Mexico Tourism Department’s annual Cooperative Marketing Program.

A grand jury has returned indictments against former Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil Giron and three others, alleging misuse of public money. 

Attorney General Gary King said Wednesday that the grand jury handed down a 50-count indictment including charges of fraud, embezzlement, money-laundering and receiving illegal kickbacks. 

The charges stem from federal tax dollars used under the Help America Vote, which educated people about voting through the use of TV commercials.

An audit of the program revealed some $3 million dollars was unaccounted for.

The more complex answer is “everything that mattered to me happened in New Mexico,” Abbott said.
