Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)

Subcommittee Report On The Establishment Of A State Ethics Commission, Jim Noel, Leonard Sanchez, Stuart Bluestone, Kathy Mccoy, Brad Winter, John Carey
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
The establishment of a State Ethics Commission relates directly to ethics reform in the state of New Mexico. Such a commission does not exist in New Mexico, the establishment of which would represent a tangible and concrete manifestation of a state commitment to ethics reform, as well as the top-down expectation that state officials (elected or otherwise) will be held to the highest standard of conduct in the performance of their duties. In addition, while New Mexico does have statutory proscriptions against certain kinds or conduct or requiring other kinds of conduct (i.e., the Government Conduct Act, the Procurement Act, …

Discussion Group Report: Prevention & Enforcement, Jim Noel, Stuart Bluestone, John Carey, Zachary Shandler
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
New Mexico has a mix of ethical canons and statutes, including the Government Conduct Act, the Procurement Code, Financial Disclosure Act, and others. The Judicial branch has its own code of conduct, as does the Legislative branch. The Government Conduct Act encourages Executive branch agencies to develop and maintain agency specific codes of conduct. It is important to note the distinction between ethical canons, which could result in administrative discipline or sanctions, and criminal/civil statutory provisions, violations of which can result in criminal fines, penalties, etc. This report provides a brief summary of the existing ethics laws, mechanisms for enforcement, …

Discussion Group Report: Campaign Finance, Matt Brix, Brad Winter, Andrew Montgomery
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
Campaign finance' laws cover the manner in which money is raised, spent and reported by candidate committees, political action committees, political parties and independent expenditure groups. This report will examine existing laws in New Mexico, potential problem areas in those laws and options for amending current laws. The real or perceived influence of money on the political process creates an inevitable tension between the right to free speech on the one hand, and the established norm of one person, one vote on the other. Existing laws governing campaign finance in New Mexico focus on reporting requirements, limits on campaign spending, …

Discussion Group Report: Governmental Conduct, Hilary Tompkins, Gaye Kernan, Maralyn Budke, Justin Miller
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
Governmental conduct' covers behavior by a wide range of individuals, engaging in a broad scope of activities, and is addressed by a variety of statutes, rules, and codes of conduct. This report concerns the conduct of all persons occupying a position of public trust in New Mexico: elected officials, appointed officials, and classified and exempt state employees. All of these individuals owe important ethical duties to the citizens of New Mexico. Laws and rules regulating government conduct are largely concerned with 1) restrictions on the behavior of individual actors, and 2) disclosure and reporting of government activities so that those …

Subcommittee Report On Legislative Compensation, Gary E. Carruthers, Maralyn Budke, Jim Noel, Barbara Brazil
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
Currently, under Section 1-19-29.1 NMSA 1978 legislators may use campaign funds for expenditures \u2026 reasonably related to performing the duties of office held, including mail, telephone, and travel expenditures to serve constituents, but excluding personal and legislative session living expenses'. An unintended consequence of allowing campaign funds for performance of duties of the office may be that a legislator(s) may be dependent in some measures on funds given to them by third parties who have specific interests they are promoting or supporting. In addition to the perception that legislators may be receiving contributions for political consideration, there is an even …

Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
New Mexico is one of a minority of 13 states that do not limit most campaign contributions. The United States Supreme Court has recognized that such limits may serve a states compelling interest in preventing corruption and the appearance of corruption in the political process. The Supreme Court has also concluded that reasonable contribution limits do not violate the United States Constitution. This report details several options for the Task Force's consideration, as well as the subcommittee's recommendations. In the 2005 Campaign Disclosure Project — Grading State Disclosure Report, New Mexico received a grade of F for its campaign disclosure …

Subcommittee Report On Gifts, Suellyn Scarneccia, W. Ken Martinez, Matt Brix
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
The giving of gifts to show ones appreciation is a valued tradition in New Mexico. However, the giving of gifts to public officials by persons financially interested in their official actions may have a corrupting influence. A clear statutory bright line definition as to when gifts are not acceptable, beyond the current quid pro quo standard, would provide a necessary foundation for effective regulation of lobbying and campaign finance. A clear definition would also make it easier for both public officials and citizens to comply, and thus increase the publics confidence in its government. This report reviews some options for …

Subcommittee Report On Public Financing Of Campaigns, Matt Brix, Dede Feldman, Stuart Bluestone, Stewart Udall
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
Broadly speaking, the Ethics and Campaign Reform Task Force has been assembled to develop constructive methods for removing the adverse effects of money on the political system and improving public confidence in the integrity of state government operations. There probably is no single more effective way to achieve this broad mandate than to remove the influence, access and problems due to political campaign contributions by having New Mexico join the leading vanguard of states and municipalities that provide public financing of elections. Not only would public financing help remove the real influence of money on the political process, it would …

Should The State Treasurer And The State Auditor Be Appointed?, Governor's Task Force On Ethics Reform
Governor Richardson's Task Force on Ethics Reform (2006)
The impetus for this issue arises from the difficulty of disciplining or removing an official from elective office in the case of misconduct. Currently, the only provision for enforcement is impeachment. Impeachment is an expensive and burdensome procedure, especially for legislators who must devote great amounts of extra time. Also, voters are wary of any process which overturns their will as expressed at the polls. The practical effect of this situation is to remove accountability from these offices. The checks and balances that are central to successful governance are absent. Below is a discussion of whether making State Treasurer and …
