Stonewalling? You be the judge.
Stonewalling is what you have to do when your record makes it impossible to tell a lie that will withstand any scrutiny at all.
The following questions have been asked of APS Leaders. They have not been answered. A distinction must be drawn between a response to a question, and “answering” the question. There have been responses. There have been no answers. Even in response to public records requests made under the NM Inspection of Public Records Act.
• How much money do the Tribune and the Journal make off the APS annually?
• How much money does the Modrall Law Firm make off the APS annually?
• Have dollars allocated by taxpayers for the education of their children, been used instead to enable senior administrators and board members to dodge honest accountability even to the law?
• Did taxpayers buy administrators and board members immunity from allegations of felony criminal misconduct; “get out of jail free” cards?
• Why did APS Leaders remove the stipulation from their own code of conduct which read; “…in no case shall the standard for adults be lower than the standard for students…”? And then lower the standard of conduct that applies to them selves?
• Why did a complainant’s right to impartial outside investigation of complaints against administrators suddenly disappear from APS Procedural Directives? And under what circumstances?
• Why did APS Leaders deny protection in the APS Whistleblower Policy, for those who expose ethical misconduct by administrators and board members?
• Why did APS Leaders, by and through Robert Lucero, kill a motion before the board which would have required administrators and board members to answer questions with the truth; not by stonewalling, not with half truths, but with the truth?
• Why did APS Leaders, by and through Mary Lee Martin, kill a motion before the Board which would have created for board members and administrators honest accountability to the same code of conduct that they enforce upon students?
• Why did APS Leaders deny a principled resolution of allegations of ethical and criminal misconduct, including felony criminal misconduct; allegations of which they were subjects?
In all fairness, shouldn’t the Journal and Trib be asking these questions?
And then reporting upon the answers?
Before it’s too late for voters to do anything about it?
