(AP) -- SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - One of Gov. Bill Richardson's cabinet
secretaries who landed a federal job has resigned from state
government after being arrested for drunken driving. Secretary of
Aging and Long-Term Services Cindy Padilla submitted her
resignation on Oct. 26. The governor's office asked for the
resignation because the administration has a zero tolerance policy
for drunken driving.
