Wheeler to Remain ENMU Regent Until Governor Appoints Successor
Ernest Wheeler said he will stay as chairman of the Eastern New Mexico University board of regents until Gov. Bruce King names a successor after the legislative session ends. He cited unresolved issues from state auditors probing ENMU funds and noted shortages estimated at 61,000 dollars. The Senate Rules Committee voted not to oppose another term for Wheeler amid questions about a Roswell foundation and bequest funds. Governor King indicated no immediate replacement and implied Wheeler should step aside after the session.
