Has Diane Denish ever taken a real stand against corruption?

With all the hoopla regarding State Senator Tim Eichenberg's frank observation about Lt Governor Diane Denish's tacit or overt approval of the culture of corruption, I went looking for any evidence I could find that Denish has actually fought against it.

I even searched Denish's own website, link.

I reread the ethics reform proposal she unveiled last July.

I could not find the word corruption, much less even the acknowledgment, there is a culture of corruption.

Even Denish's recently established Efficiency Hot Line, does not invite the exposure of "corruption", the single greatest inefficiency of them all.

Where does she stand on the Ben Lujan Highway Interchange, link? The answer, she hasn't said a word. Is she complacent or complicit in that particular outrage?

Even Brian Colon's defense of Denish, following Eichenberg's
frank revelation, doesn't speak of corruption, much less of the culture of corruption. Scour Colon's website, link, you will not find the word corruption. You will not find any acknowledgment at all, that there is a culture of corruption to be overcome.

Is it important; does it mean anything that they won't use the
word, corruption, or the phrase, culture of corruption,
that no Democrat will?

Yes, it does.

How can you solve a problem while at the same time,
pretending it doesn't exist?
