New Mexico Attorney General Sued for Stonewalling on Documents Related to Bloomberg Group

December 10, 2020

New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas doesn’t want us to know what kind of work he’s doing with environmental activists and other eco-left AG’s on behalf of a Michael Bloomberg funded group.

In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Energy Policy Advocates (EPA) argues Balderas has spent the last six months withholding documents related to their work with Bloomberg’s group.

You might recall in 2019, the New Mexico AG’s office was one of many that was found to have lawyers, who are paid by Bloomberg through a non-profit, on staff. The arrangement was found to be so ethically problematic that Virginia actually passed a law making the practice illegal. A similar law was introduced in New Mexico but was never given a hearing by the Democratic-controlled legislature.

EPA points out that Balderas and other eco-left AG’s across the country are working on “a campaign with outside activists to impose the equivalent of the ‘Green New Deal’ on the country through the courts.”

According to EPA, when asked to provide a reason for withholding the documents, attorneys with the New Mexico AG’s office replied, “This is a very confidential matter.”
