A couple of years ago, the New Mexico Environment Department and NMDOT announced where the first batch of Dieselgate money was going. While the state had a variety of projects, dozens of sites around New
around the state, but with an interesting plot twist: some of the stations were getting funded a second time.
But, this leaves some open questions about why a bunch of these stations both appear in the 2020 announcement and the 2022 funding announcement. We know it’s not just the same funding being announced twice, because there are new stations and old ones that don’t appear twice. Plus, the completed stations don’t get a mention.The best case scenario is that they’re putting in either more stations or faster stations.
The worst case scenario is that the NM state government is corrupt, inept, or otherwise just gives people money for nothing. I’m not making that accusation, but it wouldn’t be unprecedented for contractors to double dip and get money twice. This possibility had to be mentioned to be thorough, but there’s absolutely nothing to indicate that is happening, and it’s extremely unlikely.
