New Mexico AG: Suit against Air Force is ‘corruption case’
by Mark Gerstein/Santafenewmexican.com
Months after suing the federal government over the discharge of toxic, cancer-causing chemicals that have tainted New Mexico’s groundwater, Attorney General Hector Balderas now says he considers the lawsuit against the U.S. Air Force a public “corruption case.”
“It’s my position, looking at the entire set of facts, that this is not just an environmental battle for environmental cleanup,” Balderas said during a phone interview Friday. “This is absolutely a corruption case, where a powerful federal entity needs to account to what have been very committed and loyal citizens in New Mexico.
“It’s corruption and un-American,” Balderas said, referring to chemical plumes of unknown size around bases in Southern and Eastern New Mexico — which critics say are putting residents, businesses and livestock at risk — and the Air Force’s failure to remediate them.
