According to court records, on May 18, the Land of Enchantment Federal Credit Union sued formerly embattled Public Regulation Commission Vice-Chair Jerome Block, Jr. for $2,115.70. The credit union wouldn't talk—the woman on the line even refused to give her name—but Block called SFR back promptly with an explanation: It wasn't his money.
Despite a string of scandals that culminated a New Mexico grand jury indictment last April (all of which SFR covered extensively), Block has held onto his seat on the PRC with comparatively little uproar.
"I had to co-sign for an uncle of mine," Block tells SFR. "I don't really have much accounts over there." Block says he didn't know about the debt, but when the suit was filed, he paid it. "Now it's taken care of, and that complaint is going to get lifted by the end of the week," Block says.

Please give me your attention
I'll introduce to you
A man that is a credit to
"Our Red, White and Blue";
His head is made of lumber,
and solid as a rock;
he is a common scoundrel
and his name is Mr. Block.
And thinks he may
Be President some day.
Oh, Mr. Block,
you were born by mistake,
You take the cake.
You make me ache.
Tie a rock to your block
and jump in the lake.
Kindly do that for Liberty's sake.
This is very old song from the IWW (International Workers of the World).
But it seems too perfect for today!
