SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Current and former governmental appointees of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez criticized her administration on Monday for rushing through a 25-year lease in 2011 for a company to build a larger casino at the New Mexico fairgrounds.

Former State Board of Finance member Tom Tinnin told the Senate Rules Committee on Monday that the lease “didn’t smell right.” He resigned shortly before the board was to review the deal in late 2011.
