"Grand jury investigates firm with Richardson ties
ALBUQUERQUE - A federal grand jury is investigating how a California firm that contributed to the political activities of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, the nominee to head the Commerce Department, won a lucrative government contract.
A person familiar with the proceedings said yesterday that the panel is looking into possible "pay-to-play" dealings between CDR Financial Products and someone in a position to push the contract through with the State of New Mexico.
Gee, Blago is facing IMPEACHMENT for such things!!!
And he's the ONLY ONE, because the same is true here in Massachusetts (see todays roster of posts).
The proceedings follow an FBI probe in which investigators sought documents from the New Mexico Finance Authority. Investigators also interviewed former and current authority officials about New Mexico's 2004 contract with CDR for the $1.6 billion transportation program.
Richardson ignored two shouted questions about the company at his afternoon news conference in Santa Fe and left the room....
CDR was part of a team of investment and financial advisers selected by the authority to piece together a complex bond financing deal for a highway and transportation construction program.

Looks like it was STATES, too!!
All to benefit the BANKERS!!!!
Richardson won legislative approval for that program in 2003. CDR and its CEO, David Rubin, have contributed at least $110,000 to three political committees formed by Richardson, according to a review of campaign finance records.
Gee, HOW COME this is only coming up NOW?
