New Mexico state police chief Robert Schiller has quit his job.
But as the blog attached here notes, there remains some questions to answer:

The husband of New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez is caught in a dustup over an alligator-hunting trip he took in 2011. He went to Louisiana to hunt some gators, but had state police protection go along with him. Some folks have asked questions about it, wondering why the governor’s office has detailed the expense incurred by Chuck Franco — Martinez’s husband — on the trip.
Schilling is caught in the middle of all this.
Martinez needs to do the right thing and release the details of the expenses. She contends it was paid by private interests, that the public expense amounted to about $123.
That’s not nearly good enough, governor.
Meanwhile, the state has lost its top cop.
