Episode Details

Former Taos Municipal Schools facilities director Robert Valencia is fighting a state ethics lawsuit alleging he funneled $244,000 to his family’s company, All Around Fence, through dodgy subcontracting schemes. The audit uncovered hidden deals disguised as “emergency repairs” and split purchases to skirt approval limits. Valencia’s defense argues the statute of limitations bars prosecution on some claims, his ownership stake was below disclosure thresholds, and emails about conflicts of interest don’t prove intentional lawbreaking — insisting each transaction must be proven individually.
