Last ethics complaint against New Mexico speaker dismissed

Rep. Brian Egolf

  SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A State Ethics Commission hearing officer has dismissed the third and final ethics complaint accusing New Mexico House Speaker Brian Egolf of a conflict of interest. The hearing officer says the complaint failed to prove any claim upon which relief can be granted. Retired Judge Sandra Price filed the complaint earlier this year accusing the Santa Fe Democrat of failing to disclose a conflict of interest when he pushed for civil rights legislation approved earlier this year. She claimed Egolf had a conflict because he works as an attorney whose business would benefit from the state Civil Rights Act that Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law in April.
