[@MarkS-zy2nw]

In front of the camera they all are against it, behind the closed doors they all partake

[@kvogel9245]

Larry sure has a lot of material when specializing in NM political crooks.

[@ajb7530]

No wonder countries are in debt. Its reckless spending.

[@banditkings1953]

Transparency in government that's ridiculous how is it going to make deals with their corrupt business partners? I say if you spend money on a project and it fails you should refund that money.

[@carlosmcmahon623]

Larry, you are the best, and you have inspired me, to do what the work, I do for our state.

[@SuperAgentman007]

I would check to see if any of these people spent any money on them selves or their own property.

[@mischermer4767]

This policy must change and accountability must be made for any and all appropriations.

[@Odin31b]

As disgusting as civil forfeiture, unless you're getting the money to play with.

[@jjjohnson8623]

Can be sure these practices are done all over nation in every state, corruption has been going on for over a hundred yrs, pray things exposed & set in proper order, that truth reign, equity arises, judgment with proper justice for all.

[@beckywatt5048]

JJ Johnson It's why our infrastructure never gets fixed.

[@marcosmota1094]

Insane...I'm in NY, this is infuriating...especially in a state with great need for water, soil conservation, and safe roads across ten thousand miles.

[@brucewilson2763]

You don’t suppose some politicians’ prime interest is looking after themselves and their buddies?

[@nicholasthompson7690]

This is insane

[@fluxfaze]

The New Mexico Office of the State Engineer was provided more than a million taxpayer dollars for development of a business process management system to upgrade its water rights information management software which still utilizes 1980s technology to this very day. That system was never built and the CIO at the time authorized over $300K for purchase of hundreds of software licenses for user access to the nonexistent system before its development was even underway. No one was ever held accountable for that obscene waste of taxpayer funds.

[@nakiahearlson763]

Wow what a freakin joke

[@zelmerashley6354]

Who friend receive contract, or kick back to senator

[@dannyshipley7590]

John Arthur smith... is the one responsible behind this mess. He should do something

[@thomasmargolis3313]

The hue and the cry, and where are the changes in the system to correct the matter? A bipartisan problem?

[@crscts]

The Senator says "times have changed." He means it's getting hard to keep hiding the corruption.

[@jcolt84]

Maybe we should stop the theft that is taxation! Maybe the people know better than government how their money should be spent!

[@kdavis1492]

This guy needs a national show

[@jasoncrandall73]

Shady shady shay. Should be illegal. No public hearings = no $$$$$

[@lucydominguez5090]

Its time to get rid of the thieves. And elect honest people.

[@johnshields6852]

The bottom line is greed, always was, always will be. You give power to one person and their ego goes crazy, politicians, cops, gov, pres. Same ole

[@terrelltucker4321]

Abject corruption - who would a thought😖? Thanks for the truth.

[@josephfuller6229]

[@crscts]

This goes on in every state. Most people have no idea. Why do you think people spend thousands to become a state legislator?? Political graft on a grand scale.

[@dannyshipley7590]

Grisham should get her ass in gear and stop this freaking waste...

[@deanasulfridge7439]

This is our money that they are wasting!!! It could be used to lower medical costs for all Americans.

[@rokuthedog]

yeah lets waste more money on fatties and drug addicts!

[@gvet47]

Oh well now they are saying we give $300 for people because of higher gas prices but it is evident we do not need it if we can buy millions in two day on weed and gamble it instead of for gas.How much of the monthly tax money given to fsmily per kid actually get spent on the kids? Very little!

[@bryanbl44]

Disgusting

[@bonimessner6360]

As far as the slap they end up nameing them in the New Mexico slab.

[@jessgarcia6352]

He could have used the words maladministration or malfeasance

[@rickjeanes4114]

Just the way to launder money.

[@buckiemohawk3643]

its laundered to their buddies

[@garyjohnson5318]

This is corruption?

[@davidsummers2616]

It’s because the legislators pocket the rest of the money

[@josephfuller6229]

[@marigolddevera6932]

[@epoc162]

I feel like the dog park is a good one. It benefits the citizens and creates a safe area for citizens to bring their pets which is a good thing. The zoo…. Eh…. Maybe? Zoos are educational but at the same time, better uses out there I’m sure. The rest though, not good.

[@garyroach3479]

[@E_Legal_Alien]
