On Friday, December 30, 2011, the Albuquerque Journal reported that Marty Chavez, our former mayor, is living with a woman who is facing allegations in a hospital fraud scam, which supposedly bilk a Santa Fe hospital out of 3 million dollars.
Chavez claims to have known nothing of the affair until it came out in the newspaper as of late. Still one can say that the first congressional district voters do not want their congressional representative living with someone who is facing federal charges for defrauding a hospital.
Therefore, the question is does he end the relationship or does he end his run for congress.
