You see, believe it or not there's a governor's race going on! And if you haven't been paying attention there are some very unusual things going on.
You see, four years ago, the state was facing an "illegal alien crisis" that candidate Susana Martinez campaigned to stop. Now, it's an "immigration issue" and Governor and candidate Susana Martinez is visiting the Immigration and Custom Enforcement holding facility down in Artesia visiting women and children who are detained there.
As if that doesn't strike you as odd, there's this little tidbit. Usually, Republicans are all gung-ho when it comes to supporting veterans. You do remember what veterans are right? Those former soldiers, sailors, and airmen who served in our nation's armed forces? Well, it seems our Governor is just a little bit picky about her support of veterans. You see, when it comes to draping herself in a flag and saying she's all for them, she's got no problem doing that. But when it comes to actually supporting them, well, not so fast.
There's a little case involving a veteran that is headed to New Mexico's supreme court and it involves federally protected rights under the Uniformed Services Employment and ReEmployment Rights Act. In a nutshell:
USERRA protects civilian job rights and benefits for veterans and members of the active and Reserve components of the U.S. armed forces. USERRA provides that returning service-members must be promptly reemployed in the same position that they would have attained had they not been absent for military service, with the same seniority, status and pay, as well as other rights and benefits determined by seniority.
And a certain soldier, Phillip Ramirez had his USERRA rights violated when he was fired by none other than CYFD. Mr. Ramirez filed suit and won. The state, under direction of Governor Martinez, appealed and the court found that federal law has no authority over state law. (Huh?). Mr. Ramieriz then appealed to the supreme court and was granted his appeal. Now entering the fight on behalf of Mr. Ramirez is the state's Attorney General and possibly the US Dept. of Justice. Of course, who is on the other side? Susana Martinez. Here's the governor posing with Mr. Ramirez unbeknownst to her that this is the man suing her. But for all she seems to care....it's a photo-op with a vet!!
We want to be sure we get it, to Susana Martinez: Illegal Immigrants--OK Veteran Employment Rights: NO OK.

First of all I am NOT a fan of Gov. Martinez but these are two completely different issues. The Eye is being hypocritical on trying to tie this issues together! You sound like the politicians you disagree with with this tactic you are using. Children against veterans is not going to work for you, Eye....sad you are getting desperate here.
Thank you Eye! More people need to know about this.
Thank you Eye! More people need to know about this.
Fishing for votes using immigrants as the bad guys is Martinez's game plan - anyone remember the no licenses to immigrants?
Screwing over a veteran who is fighting for the same rights he fought for is shameful especially when the media lets Martinez duck and dive without answering for her actions.
I say the two are tied when it is the same actor.
@9:10
Is that you Wiilowboy? Sounds like something you would say, talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time again I see. I think you are going to find those recordings of you do that with Doyle are going to cost you everything you have and then some. Lay the hypocrisy where it belongs, right a the feet of Sue and every other politician in this state. Can't wait for Hector to become AG, with the people pushing him, he is going to make Sue's second term a living hell for her... I, for one, am putting my house on the market and getting the hell out of this mess. NM is going to revert to the dessert it once was, let Mexico have it back..
How is it hypocritical to point out the hypocrisy of this worthless governor? She's the idiot being hypocritical. She talks out of both sides of her mouth and her ass. And was stupid enough to get caught when Ramirez got her in that picture. People running this state are flat out stupid bro.
leaving is always an option but I prefer to stay and demand that these scumbags answer for their actions - there is a double standard here: if Martinez were a man people would be calling him an idiot but no one wants to criticize her in public because they will be called a racist or a woman hater
Wonder if Berry is going to apologize to Blume?
JR Romero resigned today? Can anyone verify. Would be because Supervisor in Crime Lab had documentation about him touching her and filed EEOC and DPS did investigation. Romero is said to be going to Los Lunas as an SRO?

No, he will probably give him your house on Rio Grande and your little white mutts. He might not want that Adobe Sanford and sons shithouse though. Ray, do you have a glory hole in your house? I bet you do you little mustachioed river shrimp. That, and a lot of step stools.
I don't know if JR resigned but there was a good sexual harassment complaint filed against him and all females were interviewed and from what I hear a lot of them complained about JR touching them.
@9:13
You are an example of what's wrong with APD, judging, jurying and executing based on assumption on your part. Full grown men and women reduced to gossip, and inuendo. When you do it its alright, when someone else does it they are wrong. Wanna solve the problem? Take a long hard look in the mirror and you'll see the solution or the problem! To 9:13 personally, Bueno bye! don't let the door hit you in the ass....
There aren't many comments on this post. I think that means people are so disgusted about what the Gov has done to this man that they can't write anything. Don't forget to vote for anyone but Martinez in the Gov's race. She is a hypocrite who needs to go back to El Paso.
@ 7-23 8:26,
Let me be clear, I'm "getting the hell out of this mess" financially before my house devalues even more then it already has.
I didn't say I was walking away from doing something about what is going on here in NM. I have been involved with this for nearly 4 years and I do know what I'm talking about...no innuendo, except for taking an educated guess at who 9:10 is. And I'm not with APD, I'm a citizen who has and will continue to turn the tables on all of these scumbags.
I thought the complaint on JRomero was for hostile work environment. He's been sexually harassing females at work for his entire career but when you kiss ass you get away with it. He should've been fired long ago for many different reasons. APD has enough trash he won't be missed.
Martinez has run this state into the ground, she is being passed around like the H.S. girl who finally matured and got a date to the prom. The powers in the "R" agenda could a rip about her. They just control her every move and laugh all the way to the bank, all on our dime. She has no idea how many "R's have turned their back on her because of her corrupt administration. DO NOT VOTE FOR MARTINEZ, skip her and vote every other running for office.
At 8:26 yea I love gossip and innuendo. That's why I read and post on this site just like you. Bueno bye to you little foolish man. Love you so much.
JR has always been creepy. Has the little SMA complex..
JR should have been fired for stealing ammo, while being recorded on surv camera.
Well no you got me started....JR should've never been hired to begin with, he constantly talked about his severe PTSD and how unstable he was. He could've gotten fired for all this 44s and 45s he was in which he caused most of then milked workmans comp, for all the sexual harassment complaints and there's MANY, for all the cases he screwed up, for the bad shoots, for stealing ammo from evidence, abusing city vehicle use, time sheet fraud, oh and don't forget for showing up on scene during company time when his son caused that 45 and the poor old lady died, then covered it up.
What are they doing about HR Karen S who sat on the compaints for months and blew off all these woman who were complaining? And what about Dodge, JR's lunch buddy, who disallowed these woman to go over his head to the newly appointed director. The Crime Lab director was alerted to the complaint and immediately forwarded the complaints to HR, but Dodge and Karen stalled it until they said they would take the matter to an outside agency. JR was even allowed into the Crime Lab after he was reassigned to records pending the investigation and intimidated the complaining witnesses. Way to treat your low level worthless employees. So we can wait and see what if anything happens to Dodge who failed to report his P30-less lunch buddy JR.
Retaliation is the usual course that he always takes!
Eye - Why are you not posting my comment concerning the person who submits every comment twice, one right after the other? Familia?
Wow this JR guy sounds a lot like Stephanie Lopez. No matter what they did on or off the job, they were untouchable. APD had and still has to fill the ranks with minorities.
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor"
- Desmond Tutu
APD is a microcosm of the NM population at large, the only difference being that some of those in the population at large are speaking out and trying to do something about the problem. That cannot be said for APD, they have chosen to be the oppressor.
This is the exact reason APD is a shithouse. A piece of shit like this is covered for time and time again, for going outside the scope of his job, egregiously destroying a work environment for others, harassing co-workers, stealing, lying, and anything else you can think of, and it is covered by other filth within the department stemming all the way up and through the human resources department. Meanwhile, two cops arrest a homicide suspect with multiple violent crimes warrants, who is armed, flees and resists arrest, and is apprehended alive, with no collateral damage and minor injuries, and the department conceals the fact that they were exonerated and justified by their commander, construct a 2nd investigation where they conceal facts, they fabricate baseless allegations, then parade it in front of the media and fire them. As if that wasn't good enough, Schultz then seeks charges through various agencies to back up his illegal termination. When that fails, he calls his buddies up to tamper with hearing decisions.
If you look at the people involved in these things, they are the same ones. These filth stay in positions where they can pull this shit. Is anyone surprised that slob from HR is involved in this? Another Schultz operative.
Until all of these criminals are removed from their positions, nothing will change and pieces of shit like Schultz will still have their dirty little jellyfish hands in APD. All you need to do is look at who is pulling the strings and connect the dots. It always goes back to the same old scum bags.
Do not waste your time taking a job with the Albuquerque Police Department. The place is falling apart and getting worse. The officers on the street are terrified, and crime is out of control. Reading the crap that goes on here would make one believe that there are some places in this country that the law does not apply to. I am hoping that the Department of Justice is quiet because it is just before the storm. I hope they are ramping up to bulldoze this administration into oblivion and indict the living shit out of so many high ranking low life's that the 5th and 11th floors become vacant.
Albuquerque Police Department Recruiting should stop lying to applicants. This is not a nice place and after one week here you will have one pissed off transplant when you lie to them.
For the above posters regarding JR Romero. It was not a sexual harassment case. One of the supervisors in ID filed a hostile work environment complaint because they could not get along, since he was sworn and she is civilian he refused to answer to her and since his fishing/lunch buddy Dodge had his back it all worked out for him. Because of the 27 it was discovered that she had told him on several occasions to stop touching people and he pretty much told her to shove it. That's why all the women were interviewed and that's how the sexual crap came about. He's a worthless idiot.
JR was only there to accompany Dodge to lunch and drive Julie around town all day so she could get her personal errands done. They should continue the investigation and figure out why him, Julie, Dodge and that other fat girl were allowed to take long lunches, make grocery store trips, pay bills, do Christmas shopping and visit family all on city time and in a city car without putting in a P30. JR please take Dodge and Julie with you because they are worthless.
@ 8:10. What the hell are you talking about?
Mike Callaway now there's a little prick for ya...
I want to know where Sullivan and Dodge were when JR was stealing ammo from evidence and was it reported? What kind of bullshit is that???
What are they doing about Karen S? I just Schultz'd myself I laughed so hard.
What will that DC n.a.p. partner of her's do to her? And where is the DCs wife these days? When all that went down she was suddenly moved to the 5th floor and promoted in exchange for keeping quiet. If the stairwell hadnt happened it would have stayed quiet.
Karen S deal with sexual harassment? That's hysterical
You forgot the part where Schultz printed the sig alert so he could write great job and sign his name. It was on the board at SID till roseman made it disappear. Good thing someone sent a photo of it to the eye
7-24, 10:00am - I was talking about a question I asked concerning the physical/mental stability of a frequent commenter who posts a comment and immediately reposts the same comment (back to back). Nothing earth shaking - just wondering.
Yes the ammo was reported and Marc Adams and Schultz swept it under the carpet. It was on video and a Security Guard reviewed it.
Looks like Martinez is losing her popularity as through the Rasmussen Poll she is tied with Gary King. I wonder where the Ferenghi is on this. I guess he only conducts polls for his buddies.
It will be good to see Martinez get booted out so that Berry and his pals get left twisting in the wind with no cover. Everyone needs to get out and vote this Ewok out of office.
This comentor that writes all this crimelab gossip needs to get a life, find a boyfriend or something. We all know who she is.
She never has earth shattering news, just a trouble maker
Why are we still talking about schultz, are we obsessed with him?
July 29 @9:07pm
