The Santa Fe District Court bench trial for former Española School Board and former Rio Arriba County commissioner Barney Trujillo began Thursday (7/22). Trujillo faces charges for failure to properly disclose campaign contributions.
   During the trial before Judge Mary Marlow Sommer, the district attorneyâs office alleged that Trujillo failed to disclose campaign contributions to Yolanda Salazarâs 2014 campaign for Española School Board. The contribution was in the form of signs.
   Former Española school superintendent Eric Martinez was the first witness for the state. Martinez said he did not initially hire Trujillo but renewed his contract for 2016. The contract renewal required a disclosure of campaign contributions which Trujillo signed âNA.â
