Open records gap on capital outlay for Rio Rancho park
State legislators appear not to be required to disclose how they spend taxpayer funds. The Rio Rancho project A Park Above drew scrutiny as issues over capital outlay funding surfaced. The governor's office contributed 300000 while legislators requested the rest, with Rep. Tom Anderson the sole funded local lawmaker. Public paper trails are absent, and spending details await consent under a 1951 New Mexico law.
