Innocent or guilty, I'm glad some of the generally iffy behavior is being weeded out now and not 2010. That said... get your shit together, Democratic politicians. The phrase "culture of corruption" is still very well-remembered -- we're currently holding strong majorities because the Republicans thought they could sing Lee Greenwood songs while bombing some brown people and get away with anything.
Governor Richardson might be completely innocent of any wrong-doing, but media perception -- right or wrong -- makes the crazy train go fast.
