State Police Seize Records in Sunland City Hall

Diana Alba of the Las Cruces Sun News reports in the paper this morning that state police confiscated records yesterday afternoon from City Hall in Sunland Park. Alba quotes state police spokesperson Peter Olson as saying the action was taken in response to "a complaint made by the city council..." However, City Councilor Elizabeth Martinez, who belongs to the faction that opposes Mayor Resendiz, is quoted in the same article as saying she was unaware of the reasons for the police intervention.
