The terms of public service

I am not the person to list or defend them all. I submit two.

The first and most fundamental term is; public servants must hold themselves honestly accountable to a meaningful standard of conduct.

Flowing from the first; public servants must answer legitimate questions about their public service.

The members of the Albuquerque Public Schools are public servants. Whatever else, whoever else they are; they are public servants.

They have no choice but to answer the question; or resign.

Paula Maes, Robert Lucero, Miguel Acosta, Berna Facio, Mary Lee Martin, Gordon Rowe, Leonard DeLayo, and Elizabeth Everitt;

As public servants, as stewards of the public trust and treasure, and as role models for 98,000 of our sons and daughters;
Will you hold yourself honestly accountable to a meaningful standard of conduct?

Any answer except yes; is no.

Stakeholders have dues. At the very least your dues include standing up for what you believe in. You are at a fork in the road; you can do something or you can do nothing.

You can email the Journal and Tribune and tell them that you have a right to the truth far enough in advance of the filing deadline to make a difference.

You can copy this appeal and post it where other people will read it. You can ask them to read it.

You can post it on your blog.

You could go to the next board meeting and be counted among stakeholders demanding an answer to the question.

Or you could do nothing.
