Martinez Used State Helicopter to Make Fundraiser

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) used a State Police helicopter to fly to Albuquerque so she could catch a commercial flight to Houston for political fundraisers, the Albuquerque Journal reports.

“Under the state Governmental Conduct Act, public officers are required to ‘use the powers and resources of public office only to advance the public interest.’ The language is repeated in Martinez’s Code of Conduct for all employees under the Governor’s Office.”
