The greatest thing about being a member of the privileged class is that you can not be made to justify, defend, or even acknowledge your membership.

The terms of public service are the prerogative of the public. Fundamental among those terms; public servants are accountable to the public, and to meaningful standards of conduct and competence, at least for the eight measly hours a day that we have to "trust" them with the control over our power and our resources.

Those in power with no checks and balances tend to get very big egos, they start thinking that no one can touch them. and for a long stretch of time, it can seem they are right. But then one crack in the facade , then another, and people can see behind the artifice and look at the reality beneath the mirrors and smoke.
I call closed-circuit school administrations "mobius loop monarchies". You have seen how hard it is to get IPRA related information from APS on how much they spend for lawyers, on certain audio requests for help caught on APS Security-Police dispatch tapes, even surveillance video of crimes I was the victim of are not being produced. Unless you are lawyer or reporter who can put pressure on them, make them look bad and lose votes in bond issues, they act like you do not exist.
