'Bloomberg News was able to verify the names of eight current or former Koch guards who had Lake Arthur badges. '
'Steve Lombardo, a spokesman for Koch Industries, co-owned by the Koch brothers, declined to comment.“I don’t know anything about that,” Michael Purdy, Rimi’s founder, said in a brief phone interview when asked about Koch bodyguards receiving Lake Arthur badges. '
'Koch and the outside contractor, Rimi Corporate Services Inc., based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, occasionally provided donations to the Lake Arthur reserve program, the person said. '
'Ysidro Salazar, the mayor of Lake Arthur, terminated the reserve program last week after the publication of a Bloomberg Businessweek article about Mercer’s membership. '
'Bodyguards for the family of billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch used police badges from a tiny New Mexico town that authorized them to carry concealed weapons in all 50 U.S. states, according to documents seen by Bloomberg News. '
