New Mexico House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton resigned Friday amid a criminal investigation involving alleged racketeering and money laundering.
The Democratic state lawmaker has "unequivocally" denied the allegations but wrote in a letter to New Mexico’s secretary of state that she felt her resignation was in the state’s best interest, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican.
"This is a decision that weighs heavily on me, and which I have made after a tremendous amount of consideration of the best interest of the people," she wrote. "In short, because I must devote a significant amount of time and energy to fully defend against these allegations, I believe it is in the best interest of this state and the House of Representatives that my position as both a member of the House of Representatives and Majority Floor Leader be replaced with a representative who can fully and competently resume the tasks and duties that are necessary to continue serving this great state."

She has "unequivocally" denied the allegations

When a Democrat State AG and your own Democrat party makes these kind of statements, you are guilty as hell.

Black "elected" leaders take the gold medal every year in the corruption Olympics.
I used to think that was due mainly to lowbrow black voters being mainly motivated by race baiting and government payola.
That explains much about why even roadkill with a black face could get elected in racially gerrymandered districts.
But after the November election, I now realize that many of these scum get a lifetime sinecure simply to be Dem machine sock puppets via ballot stuffing.

NM is a backwater state, fiscally on the edge even in good times, which makes the amount of money stolen by this pig and her fellow conspirators within APS all the more egregious.

Before she gets all "dolled up"....

This article is a new low for reporting. Normally about 4-10 paragraphs into the story, the reporter will identify the bad person's political affiliation, but all I could find was, "Her decision was supported by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Democratic leaders in the Statehouse. "
Or maybe it's so obvious that it doesn't need to be mentioned?

She didn’t - the taxpayers of New Mexico did.

For to do so she would have to lie
