From New Mexico Independent:
Elizabeth Kupfer, one of four people indicted in the case involving former New Mexico Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron, worked for about two months as a consultant for Attorney General Gary King shortly after King took office in early 2007.
NMI has previously reported that Kupfer worked as administrative services director in the AG’s office during the tenure of King’s predecessor, Patricia Madrid. The fact that Kupfer had a contract with the AG’s office after King took over was revealed today in documents released by the AG’s office in response to a records request.
Kupfer’s employment with the AG’s office ended with Madrid’s tenure on Dec. 31, 2006, according to the documents. Kupfer signed the contract to do additional work on Jan. 4, 2007, just after King took office. The contract states that Kupfer was to “provide consultation and advice to the Attorney General’s Office” related to “budget and financial issues during the legislative session.”
