NM AG Raul Torrez and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham
Despite all the headlines and press releases, Attorney General Raul Torrez’s efforts against Dr. Shepard and the Board of Regents appear to be sputtering. Also, Governor Grisham’s email to the Board of Regents demanding that they resign seems to have backfired.
First, the Attorney General on January 6 sought to block the severance payment to Dr. Shepard by asking the court to issue a restraining order. The court declined because the claims in the attorney general’s lawsuit did not implicate Shepard in any wrongdoing.
