Our Eyes at the State are telling the Eye an interesting rumor. According to some of our Eyes, Darren White has been given a huge contract as head of security, consulting for the Casino-Racino at the Expo New Mexico. Strangely enough, Expo NM has been bleeding red; yet they find the big bucks for White? The Eye is being told Senior Advisor to Governor Martinez, Jay McCleskey, arranged the whole set up behind the Governor’s back.
It is nice to know when you are forced to resign in disgrace; you can always use a friend to get you a big contract with the State of New Mexico. Perhaps McCleskey could help out the thousands of New Mexicans who are unemployed with a big fat State contract.
The Republican Party of New Mexico should be ashamed of this behavior if this rumor is true. The Republican Party wants all of us to vote in another Republican candidate in the future? Really? This will not happen this does not taint the party; these types of actions decapitate the party.
This rumor may bear some truth because some of our Eyes observed White at the City obtaining a consulting license. The Eye will continue to follow this story.

Sounds like McCleskey needs to be taken down a notch...just like White...
Ok this is over the top.
The city's in a meltdown, APD is in crises, Mary Han family suing the city for a messed up investigation, suggesting something is a foul and no reason for her to commit suicide, Pete Dinelli calling out Schultz, White and the mayor and now right in the middle of a SECOND investigation Darren White lands a job as a security consultant at EXPO New Mexico after resigning in disgrace.
WTF Susana!!
This kind of stuff is KILLING the Republican party in New Mexico.
McClesky will bring down this governor as he forces Darren"Dirty Cop" White on her.
This is WRONG.
Here we go again. What in the hell do we need a position like this for? Seems like we create positions like Pub Safety Director and now this useless position for Darren; for what? Don't we have something else we can do with taxpayers money than throw it away literally on some freaking loser welfare recipient leech like Darren White. What a loser.
What's his job description?
Oh, we don't have one yet.
Hell the ink isn't even dry on the business license he just got to land this contract.
Hmmmm... think I'll go down to Mesa del sol building and apply for a business license to be a, lets see.... Nuclear scientist consultant.
Oh, forgot, can't do that; I don't know anything about that...unless, I have a friend at Sandia Labs who can set that up.
WHAT IN THE HELL DO WE NEED A SECURITY CONSULTANT FOR THE RACINO AT THE BANKRUPT EXPO FOR?
Please; this is just to much for the citizens and taxpayers to swallow.
*** NOTE TO SUSANA MARTINEZ - This is just ONE of MANY things Jay McCleskey is doing behind your back! WAKE UP, GOVERNOR! Jay is not doing you any favors!!! ***
Joe Monahan and the news media will have a F - -king field day with this one.
The guy's under investigation for his own personal wrong doings and his role in the DOJ investigation which is already under way and now he has a contract with EXPO NM?
Tomorrow gorto

FANS; what say you.?
This is messed up !!
That does not surprise me. I hope it is true that Darren White got the EXPO job and I hope he is making an outrageous amount of money too. It will just show how truly corrupt the State of New Mexico is. Thats all that is on the local news anymore, public corruption. There are two different sets of rules here. Its time for both democrats and republicans to wake up and demand honest government. All these crooked public officials show go to jail, democrat and republican.

After 15 years of eating free shitty food at capos, Dan Mourning rewards Darren for being his friend.
Nice.
For all interested parties, a new website is live exposing Gov. Martinez's "life coach" Jay McCleskey. Check it out now at: http://www.5thfloornm.com/
"The Albuquerque Journal recently referred to McCleskey as “the fifth floor” because of his dominance over the Capitol’s fourth floor offices of Gov. Martinez."
— Jay Miller, Inside the Capitol, July 25, 2011
This contract needs to be retracted.
Darren needs to answer for his wrong doings first.
The pending investigations will flush out all of his criminal dealings soon enough.
Fraud and graft being just the tip of the iceberg.
If I were Darren White I couldn't live in this town anymore.
Nobody but nobody wants anything to do with this guy. He's about as popular as Doug Vaughn at someone's 'HOUSE WARMING party.
Rod Blagojevich, was out doing the TV circuit and having fun while awaiting trial. He was eventually convicted but at least he wasn't handed the keys to the city while under investigation.
Not here. We just gave Darren the keys to EXPO New Mexico.
How cavalier can he be?
I'm sure this sits well with the Hispanic community who Darren and Ray treated like shit and are seeking justice for their pro-filer,racist policies.
Mean while mayor 'Gumba' just sits there with that dumb stare on his face counting the strawBERRIes while the ship is going down.
Who is McClesky?
This is yet another egregious example that shows we’re continuing to attracting criminal elements to our state leadership.
Although, “The Eye is being told Senior Advisor to Governor Martinez, Jay McCleskey, arranged the whole set up behind the Governor’s back.” The actions of McCleskey are not any different than Governor Susana Martinez announcing recently that William “Bill” Mattiace was named deputy director of the New Mexico Border Authority.
Gov. Martinez covered Mattiace’s public bomb threat, a misplaced police report and perjury to a court of law as DA and now extends a favor to Mattiace. No different than McCleskey to White.
Enough to make a maggot puke!
Here is a hint for the Republican Party ( LOCAL ). I am a life long Republican, and I will not vote for any local Republican. If this is true it's a discrace. Lets not leave out Dan Morning.Dan Was the manager of a local resturant and now is a director at the state fair, thanks to Darren. Bet Dans hands are all over this.
This is standard procedure. Why would Gov Martinez or the Republican Party care what a bunch of UNION PUKES think? How much money do you cops give them, are you big donors? You don't give then enough money to influence their policies.
Question above; "Who's McClesky?"
Answer; actually a nobody, except to say he is a political strategist and will be stop at nothing to advance his cronies through political appointments which Susana puts up with for some reason.
He is tied to Darren White in this sick demented brotherhood like a birth defect with two heads.
All of them care what the public thinks though. Darren resigned in disgrace. Shultz has the DOJ breathing down his neck as well as the IG. Berry looks like a complete fool and continues to dig his hole deeper. And now it looks like Martinez has disgaced herself by allowing that scum bag White on to her team. You are right we don't give the Republicans enough money to care about us. But we are very impressed about the quality of idiots all that NM Republican money purchased.
Message to the NM Republican Party keep up the good work!
Well here's what I see, for now at least.
First; Keep an eye on the maneuvering by City Hall to settle a phony case that Darren has hatched against the city for the AFD's alleged releasing of Peach medical records. I though Ray did that underhanded deed and gave those to the press or Perry on the news throwing them at reporters at that childish rant.
Second. I guess the cat was out of the bag when he was SUPPOSED to get a contract with the CITY. Since they can't do that now, he has slithered over to the BROKE and DEFUNCT EXPO NM, to talk Dan Mourning (Capos restaurant owner, now closed) into a make pretend consulting job, as payment for helping him get a job there, through the help of Jay McCleskey, Susana Martinez's political 'PAC Hack'
On second thought Susana, don't bother attempting to get vetted for a VP spot. Should this nightmare turn out to be true, then no need to be calling Mitt Romney anytime soon.
Don't forget Darren and Trutouch. Is the State Attorney General involved in this corruption ?!!!!!
Question to Brad's Supporters: Whenever someone is accused of murder or rape and there is DNA evidence to be processed, the STATE is responsible for processing that evidence. Why is it then that the FBI is putting the burden of decoding these text messages, which are evidence, on Brad? Do you guys feel that the FBI should be responsible for doing a COMPLETE investigation?
What type of Agency does a half assed investigation that only takes some of the evidence but not ALL of it? Corruption at it's finest.
When are you all going to learn that politicians NEVER KEEP THIER WORD?
Martinez is just like every other politician out there...in it for herself and no one else. Period. It's never going to change.
What's the quickest way to turn an honest, hard working person with strong moral fiber into a lying, cheating, thieving scumbag? Enter politics.
The fact of the matter all politicos take care of eachother. Dan from "Capos" is the GM at EXPO NM. He will take care of Darren. This is similair to Gove Richardsons administration. Its the same with Gov Martinez. Wake up people. All in the family until the hats are changed again.
God help us all
The text messages are being decoded by a private company for one reason.
Give Erika's cell phone to the FBI and you will never see it again or never hear another word. What is about Darren that he can get around all of this? Darren has friends at the FBI; end of story.
Side not; for all you Republicans that know what's going on, SHAME on you for sitting silent.
Who really killed Mary Han?
Suicide ? C'mon.
Alcohol in her blood stream? She didn't drink.
Paul Kennedy; DOJ is here. Perhaps you should have a word with them.
Reading today's paper.(Mary Han) Reading Monahan. Reading the EYE.
Watched Dinelli depants Ray, Darren & mayor Goober on last night's news.
Now DOJ in here investigating PD,Darren's under another investigation and then gets rewarded by getting a 6 month contract to do NOTHING in the tune of $75K (6 months)
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
1. Dan Mourning plys White (and ABQ Journal reporter TJ Wilham) with free food and drinks at Capo's for years.
2. After Berry is elected, White rewards Wilham for his soft reporting of BCSO with a made up PIO job. After Wilham screws that up White creates another made up job for Wilham at Emergency Services.
3. After Martinez is elected, White rewards Mourning for the years of free food and drink by helping him become the general manager of the State Fair which, like Capo's, is reknowned for crap food.
4. Faced with no confidence votes, State Auditor investigations into TruTouch and free tickets to Journal Pavilion concerts, a possible Dept of Justice investigation, the truth coming about his role in Brad Ahrensfield's case and abusing his position to protect his wife from a possible DUI White is forced to "retire" as CPSO after a year and a half on the job.
5. Mourning returns the favor his capo White did him by creating a made up casino/carnival cop job at the bankrupt State Fair because Desperate Darren doesn't have enough time in PERA to retire and needs to keep Peaches in her Porsche.
Great crew you've got there, Susana. There's are a lot of us who are counting on you to stick with them.
$75K for 6 month contract? That's $150K a year; what he was making with the City. I'm now beginning to think the whole incident with peach pie and his phony poor me resignation was a set up. Only difference, aS the Director of Pub safety Job, he just showed up and did nothing but sit around in TJs office and do nothing. Now he can just sit home and do nothing.
THIS IS WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.
The DEMS are having a field day with this, and a field day they will have the night of the election.
Bye, bye, Heather. Bye, bye Dan Lewis.
Bye bye Janice Arnold Jones. Bye, bye John Sanchez.
Bye, bye Mayor Gooberry.
Darren White will cost ALL of you a political future. But go ahead, continue to embrace him, continue to feed him, continue to go down this bleak path with him.
As they say; "Sleep with dogs,....
What the hell was TJ Wilham doing at the Han crime scene anyway.
I heard the first thing TJ did was look in here refrigerator.
A private and an fbi forensic analysis need to be done on those text messages. Plus, the text messages as of right now aren't even being decoded, according to the supporters of Brad Ahrensfield page. They need 5,000 bucks to do so and haven't even come up with 500 yet. Meanwhile, an innocent man is getting ready to go to prison. This is disturbing.
This story is completely false.
If you want to preach about ethics and integrity, then you should not post a rumor that can easily be confirmed, or disproven before taking the time to actually do it.
A call to the State Fair confirms that there is NO contract between the State Fair, or the state of New Mexico and Darren White for anything. Here's their phone number: 505-222-9700
Now you can go back to trashing the Governor for the fact that Darren White woke up this morning and breathed....
Susana Martinez;
Did we elect you as Governor?
Not sure, as we damn sure didn't Elect Jay McCleskey to do any damn thing he PLEASES.
This contract given to Darren White sure as hell PLEASES no one I assure you.
The Republican party seems to have one set of values and rules to follow and the rest of us have another set.
Seems as though we elect people based on their skill,knowledge, morality and ethics, only to find out, that they are merely ghosts.
Take for example RJ Berry; empty as can of dried up paint in the garage. Who runs the city (badly I might add), Darren White and his crony Perry.
Now we have Susana, strangely enough letting another slippery serpent like Darren running things at the state, Jay MvcCleskey. Look at the positions he's filled, with the most incompetent people like that Tourism chick. But not to fear, if she can't run it, then someone else can. We'll just transfer someone out of Constituent Services at the City to fill in.
Why can all the medications found in Mary Han's system get printed but it's a HIPAA lawsuit if it involves Mrs Darren White?
www.5thfloornm.com
Bill Richardon's good buddy Paul Blanchard gave White the contract for casino security. He has to keep Peaches off the premises.
White and Casey Anthony -two of the most hated people on this planet.
Charges against former judge Murdoch have been dropped. His coming lawsuit against APD will be most interesting to watch. Judge Murdoch will be a wealthy man soon thanks to APD. Was he set up to distract media attention from Shultz and White?
I have been reading this blog since its inception and there has been a wealth of information but nothing has been done by the people who could stop the corruption. Darren White has been the pineapple hemmorhoid since day 1 and he still has a job. I remember back to the sixties when ALL cops were well respected and the worst gossip was about the meter maids, nicknamed peter maids, who got payoffs from downtown workers to NOT ticket their car. Surely there was corruption at City Hall but it was not as blatant. If a person got fired, s/he went home - which reminds me, what became of the query into the TJ transfer coverup? Did anyone ever find out what he had on who? That was dropped like a sticky Golden Pride burrito. This blog is necessary and I trust it is keeping the handful of jerks on their toes.
Good for the judge. Maybe with all the publicity he will find a nice lady who appreciates him and isn't a gold digger.
www.5thfloor.com. You have to check it out!
It is www.5thfloornm.com, just to remind you. There is nothing there of any substance - Perhaps people don't trust the site to be totally anonymous, as with The Eye. I voted Republican until George W. Now I don't vote. I think it is a waste of time and to those I preached to for years about getting out to vote -sorry. Actually, my final vote was for Gary Johnson. None of these clowns can hold a candle to him. He cheated on his wife, but who of these clowns does not? Part of the power trip. He was an honest politician and had enough money of his own so he did not need palms on both sides of his hands.
It was reported on the news last night that Darren got this contract, so that should shut up the poster above who claims it's not true. Further, please don't say Martinez doesn't know what's going on. She appointed him to the judicial standards commission. She's fully aware and just as corrupt as the rest of them. Republican party you should be proud. Uncle Bill is beginning to look like a boy scout! LOL

Wow, don't you look like a dumbass. Perhaps you should be more aware of where you are posting your nonsense. The EYE has EYES everywhere, and they know EXACTLY what is going on. Tsk, tsk. What a mornon you are.
2:58.....
it was reported that white was given a contract by the Downs, a private company.
the albuquerque journal trashed the democrats for claiming the gov gave white a state contract, or had anything to do with this. they pointed out how completely false that claim is ---- it is a PRIVATE company that receives no tax dollars and that the governor has NO control over.
ironically, the firm is owned by paul blanchard, a richardson buddy.
this story has been completely discredited. complain about white....complain about the downs hiring him. but stop blaming the governor.
Question - I see there is a page to donate money to get these so called text messages decoded so Ahrensfield can stay out of prison. I asked how much money they had collected and they said 475 bucks, but they need 5000? Since this is Shawn Bryans phone, and his "buddy", why isn't he fronting the money for this? Doesn't he own his own business? I'm not putting anyone down, I just don't understand the conflict here. Seems fishy.
Exactly my thoughts at the last second when I was putting in my 20 bucks. I think Brad should not have to serve hard time, regardless. Shawn should pony up.
If these transcribed messages could exonerate him, why hasn't he paid for it yet. Seems to me the messages may look bad on others but doesn't change what Brad did. If they could keep me out of prison I would've already got the money....via a loan....sell stuff..whatever it took.
Only difference between Richardson and Martinez is that the ABQ Journal went after Richardson.
Journal protects and supports Martinez/White/Berry Look how they destroyed somebody in each of the campaigns to make sure their darling won. Unfortunately we only have one newspaper and no one to investigate its favoritism or corruption.
Rather than looking at the obvious with Darren White's contract with the Downs, it would be more revealing to look for contracts given to State Fair Commissioners Larry Kennedy and Hossie Sanchez by the Downs. If their votes to award the Downs at ABQ the 25 year lease butter their own bread in any way that would be a violation of the Hobbs Act, i.e. racketeering. I'm just waiting to see who's asphalt paves the entrance to the Downs.
