Beth Everitt cannot be believed

According to news releases; Beth Everitt is canning Gil Lovato; "Because of the seriousness of the allegations regarding the Albuquerque Public Schools Police.

The truth is that you can't fire someone over allegations
no matter how serious you think that they are.

You can only fire someone if your investigations prove
that the allegations were not only serious; but true.

Beth Everitt is "firing" Lovato over just cause; and she is doing everything she can to keep the cause from public knowledge.

Everitt said she has "not decided if the Lovato investigation will be turned over to the district attorney for possible criminal charges".

It is not your "decision", Ms. Everitt; it is your obligation. If there was (probably) criminal misconduct; it is the District Attorney's decision; not yours, whether or not the commander of your praetorian guard will be prosecuted for it.

This is why the records, all of them, must be released. It is why they are not being released.

Everritt is not being candid, forthright, and honest with stakeholders.

neither is the Journal, nor the Trib.

I find it hard to believe that
Chief Gil Lovato was infact doing illegal background checks, making weekly hotel visits or mishandling money. Why? Because they would have to be confirmed allegations in order to fire Chief Lovato. Yet, he is not being fired - His contract is just not being renewed.

Gilbert Lovato is not being fired he is being released because APS jumped the gun on allegations placed by an employee. APS has always reported monies being mishandled by other APS workers - why would they not now? They would certainly turn in the information to the district attorney. At the very least Lovato would have to pay APS back. I don't believe Beth Everitt. I think she is the one who is corrupt along with her buddy Tom Savage.
