It is time for Sheriff Darren White

to admit or deny that computers in his office were used by the leadership of the APS to do illegal background checks.

There exist, public records of the truth. They are being suppressed by Beth Everitt who claims that they are "personnel" records and "confidential" and exempt from the NMIPRA.

They are not "personnel" records. Even if they were; the NMIPRA provides no exception for "personnel" records.

It is an indefensible premise; except by spending public funds to hire unscrupulous lawyers to provide their personal exception to the NMIPRA.

The public has a right to know the truth of the fate of their trust and treasure.
