   The Republican Governors Association pounced on Gov. Michelle Lujan   
   Grisham on Tuesday following revelations of a settlement of at least   
   $62,500 with a former campaign staffer who accused the first-term   
   Democrat of grabbing his genitals.   
      
   The association, which already has put a target on the governor’s   
   back as she seeks a second term in office, dubbed the settlement “a   
   $62,500 crotch grab.”   
      
   “After years of vehement denial, Governor Lujan Grisham’s now   
   revealed sexual harassment settlement certainly raises questions of   
   why she tried to discredit her alleged victim,” association   
   spokesman Will Reinert wrote in an email. “Where there is smoke   
   there is usually fire, and Lujan Grisham just wrote a check for   
   $62,500 worth of kindling.”   
      
   Actually, a series of checks.   
      
   According to campaign finance reports filed Monday with the   
   Secretary of State’s Office, the governor’s campaign, New Mexicans   
   for Michelle, made five monthly payments of $12,500 each between   
   November and March to Buckley Beale LLP, an Atlanta-based law firm   
   representing James Hallinan, who served as Lujan Grisham’s   
   communications director during her candidacy for governor.
