Riordan, who currently works for Wachovia Securities in Albuquerque, was appointed to the state Game Commission by Richardson. He contributed at least $24,000 to Richardson's campaign in 2002 and his re-election.Update:
After this information was disclosed yesterday afternoon, Richardson last night removed Riordan from the Game and Fish Commission and contributed $24,000 to charity.
(Sort of like shutting the barn door after the donkey has escaped?)
Just taking a guess here but I don't think Riordan will be the last to fall. Look for some more Ds and maybe an R or two to be implicated.
