SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The former leader of New Mexico's Workforce Solutions Department that oversees unemployment benefits says his resignation in April was linked to threatening messages and incidents at the agency and elsewhere.
Former Cabinet Secretary Bill McCamley on Thursday described safety concerns in a stream of 15 Twitter messages. McCamley said his fears grew after a state-owned car was destroyed by an incendiary device and a possibly deranged man called the labor agency in search of him.
On Wednesday, analysts found that New Mexico may have overpaid unemployment insurance benefits by as much as $250 million during the pandemic.
