Spokesman: Gov. Martinez has torn ACL from ski accident

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez has a torn ACL resulting from a skiing injury in Utah. Martinez spokesman Chris Sanchez told The Associated Press an MRI confirmed the Republican governor torn her ACL during her skiing accident. Martinez was in Utah for a meeting of the Republican Governors Association. While in Utah, Martinez has criticized the Democrat-led state Legislature for wasting time on matters such as selecting a state dance instead of addressing a crisis in state finances. Sanchez says Martinez is not expected to miss any time and is walking around the New Mexico Statehouse.
