Lawsuits accuse Gov. Susana Martinez of open-records violations
The Associated Press filed lawsuits Thursday against Gov. Susana Martinez and two state agencies for refusing to release records about her work and travel schedules, her cellphone calls and the expenses of the security officers who travel with her.
