Mexican drug lord appears on teachers' payroll-The Associated Press: : "An alleged drug cartel leader appears on the Mexican government's 2010 teacher payroll as part of the staff of an elementary school in a rural town, according to the federal education department's website.
Payroll documents posted on the website show that checks totaling about $4,000 were issued to Servando Gomez, a reputed leader of the La Familia cartel, during the first three months of the year for teaching at Melchor Ocampo Elementary School in his hometown of Arteaga in Michoacan state.

Michoacan's education department said its files show that they began canceling payment checks to Gomez in June 2009, when the department conducted 'a thorough review of its payroll,' the department said in a statement." Dec. 8, 2010
