7 DAYS AND COUNTING PETE DINELLI STILL MUM ON WHETHER HE BROKE LAW, DELETED CITY E-MAILS

ALBUQUERQUE - One week ago today, the Republican Party of New Mexico requested the Attorney General’s office to investigate whether mayoral candidate Pete Dinelli broke the law and deleted three years of city e-mails. Many city e-mails are considered public records, and destroying public records is a fourth degree felony.

"Pete Dinelli was still employed with the city from 2006 to 2009, yet you would never guess it ,because there are no e-mail records during that time," said RPNM Spokeswoman Jamie Dickerman. "Pete Dinelli has a lot of explaining to do. We call on him to address this very important issue."

In response to a public records request, the Albuquerque City Clerk stated that they have no emails to or from Pete Dinelli's email account after August of 2006, even though Dinelli was terminated in 2009.

The issue is worsened by the fact that Pete Dinelli complained to the press about the fact that Mayor Berry was properly using his private emails to discuss political campaign efforts. Dinelli wrongly claimed that these campaign emails should have been on the city email server.

BREGMAN CONTINUING TIRED POLITICAL GAMES, IGNORING BAD WEEK FOR DEMOCRATS

Today, Democrat Party of New Mexico Chairman Sam Bregman posted on Facebook calling for Education Secretary-Designate Hanna Skandera to resign. Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement in response:
"It’s been a really bad week for Democrats, and it comes as no surprise that Bregman is attempting to change the subject. However, this is a tired ploy. The Democratic Party has continually issued the same old rhetoric on the subject, trying to avoid the fact that political games by State Senate Democrats delayed confirmation hearings.
"This comes at a time when we should all be focusing, instead, on Senator Tom Udall and his instigation of the IRS targeting conservative groups. While we will not stoop as low as Bregman and call for resignation without thorough investigation, we fully recognize the severity of his involvement and know that this is of major concern for New Mexicans. Bregman is clearly and desperately reaching for material to change topics. From Benghazi to the IRS and AP subpoenas, Democrats have many questions to answer for the American public. Transparency has not been a strong suit of Democrat leadership recently, but unfortunately for Bregman, his motives are all too transparent.”
