Banking probes claim Norvell delayed Great West closure
Albuquerque banking officials allege that the office of Attorney General David Norvell delayed closing Great West Savings and Loan in Albuquerque through inaction and later actions. The department found deficits and improper loans as early as 1972, with a 1973 move toward receivership, while intergovernmental friction and a March 1974 order allowed partial operation and a safekeeping fund release.
