Bob Johnson Gets a Bouquet, and the Shaft

Tribune editors gave Bob Johnson a bouquet tonight. (can't find a link); all the while giving his cause, open government, the shaft.

The thing that bothers me most about the leadership of the APS is their betrayal of Character Counts. I cannot imagine hypocrisy worse than claiming to be an advocate of Character Counts in public, and then betraying its fundamental principles in secret.

Sincerity is everything. If you can fake that, you've got it made. unk.

What bothers me almost as much, is editors blowing about Bob Johnson's work for open government in public, and then betraying what he believed in, in secret.

If the editors of the Trib really had any respect at all for Bob Johnson's efforts toward open government; they wouldn't be covering up the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS.

They would be demanding disclosure of the public record of incompetence and corruption in the leadership of the APS.
