A SETTLEMENT AGAINST STATE POLICE AND FORMER-STATE POLICE CHIEF PETE KASSETAS WILL NOT BE ENFORCED AFTER ALL. NOT ENFORCING IT WAS AGREED TO BY GOVERNOR LUJAN GRISHAM, THOUGH THE CASE REQUIRED CONFIDENTIALITY UNTIL THE YEAR 2023. NOW, ALL SIDES CAN DISCUSS THE LITIGATION … BUT THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS HOW MUCH IS PAID TO DPS AND STATE POLICE WORKERS WHO SUED OR FILED CLAIMS WILL STAY CONFIDENTIAL AS REQUIRED BY LAW. THAT WILL REMAIN THAT WAY FOR NOW.
AMONG THE MAJOR ALLEGATIONS ARE GOVERNOR SUSANA MARTINEZ COVERING UP THE WRONG-DOINGS OF HIGH-LEVEL OFFICIALS IN HER ADMINISTRATION IN ORDER TO PREVENT A SCANDAL.
