Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.
(That Ranch is less than a hrs drive from me). NM Rep Melanie Stanberry has been one of more vocal of the Dems searching the Epstein files .

(3,298 posts)good vibes for making this happen.
I am so happy this is happening.
I think? They chose NM for a reason. Maybe it was our vast open lands. Maybe it was political? But? Seems whatever the reason its catching up.
We have an awesome governor. Awesome representatives.
And speaking for fellow New Mexicans? We wont let this go.

(10,797 posts)Melanie wants names from yrs ago of who read the reports of two dead foreign girls and deaths or abuse of other kids, women and even men. Rep Melanie Stanberry wants answers - why back then when reports came in did no one investigate them. She wants to know who received the old reports and who is responsible for not investigating reports of possible murder at the ranch. Looks like Stanberty might have more info on who was tortured and who was killed there. NM has the best Reps - Melanie even went to look at the redacted files. I bet she looked up the redacted Zorro Ranch ones.

(3,698 posts)Will they take the state to court to block the bill? Or will they allow it?
If they block it, huffines the elder, who is running for texas state state comptroller, risks giving ammo to his dem opponent to claim he is aiding in covering up pedophile activities. If he allows it, he risks losing t, abbott, and maga support because he isn't supporting t.
Just found this.
