The commission found he also bought carbon offsets and airline status points, which raised eyebrows. Martinez defended the trip as essential planning time, backing it up with redacted notes and draft emails, but commissioners called his answers evasive—especially when pressed about the airline perks. The commission is now weighing fines, with a decision due in ten days, while other officials like Cody Anderson and Daniel Volland also face campaign finance probes.
