Fill in the Blank: "____ has worked for and with every Governor since Gov. Jerry Apodaca," the press release reads.
Ready for the answer? Dorothy "Duffy" Rodriguez, a former deputy secretary at the Department of Health who earlier this year was at the center of two whistleblowers' allegations of nepotism and fraud. (Read SFR's coverage here.) So far, neither allegation has been proven—but when Rodriguez left the DOH in April, many of the comments on SFReeper.com were euphoric.
"Duffy...was a corrupt bully who was feared by all in the agency," one commenter wrote. Another described the news as "too good to be true!"
But Rodriguez has a brand new job: Secretary of the Taxation and Revenue Department, where she'll replace Rick Homans—who in turn will take over from Steven Landeene as director of the New Mexico Spaceport Authority, according to a press release from the Governor's office. And the wheel turns.

The rumor at T&R is that our new Secretary is a man-hater. Seems her Ex ran off with another man and she has no use for men. Does anyone know if this true.
T&R get your checkbooks out to shell out for St Mike's raffle tickets and X-mas wreaths. She will have her assistant hit you up for both (on state time). For DOH her leaving was like getting a raise.
Taxguy, yes she hates men. She hates women too. She hates everybody. You could say she is an equal opportunity hater. Watch your back and keep your head down. And don't take being called a f'ing idiot too personal, that's what she calls everybody, including her boss. Good luck, you're going to need it.
