Chavez promises to help seniors Gubernatorial candidate Fabian Chavez today promised to make senior citizen programs a top priority if he is elected governor.
The Democrat, at a press conference, proposed more homemaker services for the elderly, more day-care centers, an expansion of crime prevention efforts for senior citizens and increased funding for senior citizen housing and transportation. "THE PEOPLE in state government must recognize and be responsive to our senior citizens' particular circ*mstances and limitations," Chavez said. Chavez also promised to beef up funding for support services that would permit senior citizens, who would otherwise be in a nursing home, to remain in their own homes. MONTOYA'S ATTORNEY, David Norvell, said in his opening argument Monday that he did not dispute whether the work had been completed but said his client was the victim of the poor business climate prevailing when Montoya entered into the contract in March 1980. Called as a defense witness today, Trujillo said Montoya had assigned him to weatherize several homes, but he was prevented from completing the work in some cases because the homeowners were not satisfied with the materials that were to be used and in others because the homeowners were absent.
Although Norvell had claimed that his client was in financial difficulties at the time he performed the work, Trujillo admitted under cross-examination by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Don Svet that he worked on several unrelated projects for Montoya at the time the weatherization work was being done. NORVELL ALSO CALLED to the stand Johnny Quintana, another former RAM employee who purchased and delivered materials to homes that were to receive improvements. Quintana also told of homeowners who did not want the work for which RAM had contracted to be performed and said crews sometimes were unable to reach isolated houses because of poor conditions. Under questioning by Lutz, however, Quintana admitted that he saw very little work actually performed and in one case could account for $83 in materials and about $100 in labor for a project where the state was billed $1,000.
EARLIER, KLOEPPEL has testified that the RAM contract was awarded without bids by former agency director Herman Grace. Grace resigned in February after it was learned that the agency was being scrutinized by state and federal investigators.

Charged in loan fraud Albq couple faces prison, fines An Albuquerque couple faces a maximum of 16 years in prison and a $20,000 fine when sentenced in connection with a Mortgage Finance Authority loan scheme that defrauded the state agency of more than $400,000 in low interest loans.
Sandi and Terry Pressley pleaded no contest Monday to four charges of fraud in the case. They are the most recent of eight business people to plead guilty or no contest to charges that they misused the loans. THE PRESSLEYS ORIGINALLY were charged with 36 counts of conspiracy, fraud and securities fraud. The charges stem from their alleged investment in a scheme that set up "straw buyers" to submit false financial information to qualify for loans meant for low- and middle-income home buyers. The Pressleys then allegedly quickly sold the properties at a profit in violation of state law.
The alleged transactions involved the purchase of condominiums at Hill- crest Park Condominiums, 3851 Montgomery Blvd. N.E. THE COUPLE'S attorneys, James and Kari Brandenburg, said charges had been reduced to 27 counts by the time trial was set to start Monday. Twenty-three counts were dropped in the plea agreement leading to the no contest pleas. Three other defendants real estate developer D.A.
