New Mexico Faces Hay Program Recovery and Ethics Debates
Atty Gen Earl Hartley reviews the 1956 hay program records amid talk of reclaiming more than 300000 state dollars issued illegitimately to ranchers. The 1956 program drew wealthier signers and the 1957 court ruling halted the giveaway, with no clear conclusion on recovery. The piece also discusses watchdog concerns over conflict of interest among highway and corporation officials and the push for laws curbing contractor dealings, plus notes on 1961 laws and oil royalties disputes in Honolulu.
