Two Martinez appointees move into protected jobs

Two more of Gov. Susana Martinez's political appointees - a Gaming Control Board member and the director of adult prisons - have slid into civil service jobs as Martinez prepares to leave office Dec. 31, state government personnel records show. The job changes make it possible - but don't guarantee - that the Martinez appointees will remain employed with the state under the administration of Gov.-elect Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat.
