"Darren White has long fought against shady deals, corruption, and ethics violations throughout his career – from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. Darren White will shake up the political bosses, shady lobbyists, and the traditional power-brokers in Washington, D.C., and promises to govern in an open and transparent manner."
Displayed herein is a chart showing all the connections between many of the high level players at Ms. Han's death. The thicker lines represent thicker relationships. As you can see, Kennedy and White have the most connections and the thickest connections.
The above statement came from Darren White and his campaign on October 15, 2008, prior to being beaten by then city councilor, and now U.S. Senator, Martin Heinrich. White made the remarks as then state senator pro-tem Manny Aragon plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and mail fraud in a public corruption case which brought down the once mighty politico.Were they too tempting of a trophy for the offenders?
Or were they articles of nostalgia for one boxed into a corner by years of nefarious actions, unrequited love and bold rejection?
Help us fill in the blanks.....

Eye,
Please explain how the citizens can gather petitions for force Kari Brandenburg to name a special grand jury to investigate the Han death.
I don't think Kari will do this without being forced to, therefore we need to start a petition drive now.
How do we do it?
About half that group met and later regularly lunched together at 8th and Lomas. Include TJ in that group of lunch buddies as well.
If it had not been for that one restaurant and the manipulation and machinations that went on there most of the mess of the last decade would not have happened, Ray would still be in Arizona and people with above room temperature IQ would have worked their way up.
I agree with the petition drive!!!
Start the petition drive and let's take our government back from the corruption of Berry.
How do we do this petition drive?
Brandenburg is at least as corrupt as these guys, mostly more, on any given day. She has a career, it is dependent on her getting votes from the people. Bless their little hearts, ABQ keeps voting for her because she puts up really big numbers in the fights against DWI, domestic violence, et cetera..But she puts up big numbers because she condones, encourages even, APD to bring her any horribly cobbled together set of lies about innocent people that she can pursue charges against. It helps her image. The rough thing is, she picks on the people with no money to pursue civil cases against her after the fact, so a even a week in jail destroys these lives. No job, can't afford to get the car back, the apartment is gone. See, she knows she's doing it, and it doesn't occur to her to be troubled about it, even for a moment. I get the petition thing, but asking her to chase down her friends for you is like asking Bonnie to turn Clyde in, or asking Romeo to kill Juliet, or asking out cops to become honest, decent people. Do you see the problem?
As to a special prosecutor - ask for one from the Feds.
because of the ongoing and close (incestuous) relationship that any DA's office has with local law enforcement there is a too great conflict of interest present to prevent the independence and impartiality needed for the supporting investigation.
Yup - Gary King can start the ball rolling with a Grand Jury and then turn it over to the Feds.
Amazing how these scumbags hide and then milk the taxpayers out of even more money with their special contracts with the city. Right Citizen Schultz? Right Citizen Padilla?
ANOTHER BLACK EYE FOR THE WORST POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE NATION. AIRING RIGHT NOW ON DATELINE. SCOTT PEARCE MURDER.
Funny brad and kari had a thing,,, brad didnt say a word
Who is citizen Padilla?
Brandenburg is as corrupt as Berry and Schultz. She goes after citizens in a vindictive and persecutorial manner...especially on minor, but sensational, charges. She is in cahoots with the Schultz-Berry-White axis. Plus is elected one more time, she will get her 20 years in and live a tax-supported life of luxury.
we need petitions to RECALL KB, RJB and take some actions against White and Berry (certainly not re-elect RJB)!
Boy Mayor Berry's recycling plan is going JUST AS EXPECTED.... All we have in this City is recycled people posing as politicians. Lets get them all into those blue recycle bins and dump them all at the new recycling center. For crying outloud.
Please someone answer the question as to how to get a petition going !!
So there are clearly numerous approaches to cleaning up the crime scene that has become of our city:
As we can see, many community members from all walks of life have gathered and gained momentum on placing pressure on our officials. beginning with the petition process for requesting an independent grand jury investigation into Mary Han's murder, under state law, We The People need to gather a very small proportion of signatures by registered voters in that county. this is doable and could easily be combined into the eforts already underway to gather signatures asking for an independent grand jury into all the fatal police involved shootings that the DA has already justified.
now, as for changing the leadership, we have the not-so-fast track, and the harder-to-gain but longer-lasting approach.
the 'quicker' remedy is to mobilize recall elections and termination proceedings on the mayor and the DA. the recall petition against the mayor has already been filed, but i don't know the exact status of that, but i think a hearing is pending where the petitioners can show cause as grounds for a recall. The termination proceedings for the DA are similar, where, under state law, we must gather a small proportion of reg voter signatures, but the evaluation and termination proceeding is done by the attorney general, i believe.
the 'slower' approach consists of the ramping up of voter registration and mobilization efforts in the city and larger state. as we know, the shit is rolling downhill, as in, downhill from the state capitol. We clearly have our work cut out for us, but it's not anything that the community can't accomplish if we set ourselves out to do so. after all, this is new mexico. we've always, and still have it in us to overthrow corrupt and oppressive regimes.
the [hunger] games have begun. batter up, people.
