"The Arrangements Have Been Made" (continuing series)
A contractor named Sonny Otero bought some land in 2004 and then in 2006 sold it to the state of New Mexico, whose taxpayers paid Mr. Otero a $3.2m flipping profit, which they only were able to do because somebody in the legislature pushed through a vote on a special exception to the law, and then the exception bill was signed by the governor. Mr. Otero's one of the governor's biggest campaign supporter/contributors (though he hasn't contributed anywhere near $3.2m). That's how the world works, and that's one of the reasons the President-Elect had to go find another Secretary of Commerce. New York Times
