Editorial Honors and Betrays Bob Johnson

From an editorial in this morning's Journal.

Last Saturday, Bob Johnson passed. The 84 year old executive director of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government was one of the major forces behind the concept of open government in New Mexico.

State Attorney General Gary King acknowledged that "Bob ... was one of the major forces behind the concept of open government in New Mexico."

"We'll all have to work hard to preserve his legacy."

Journal editors will work hard to preserve his legacy,
by helping the leadership of the APS keep secret
their efforts to eliminate any honest accountability
for themselves, to any meaningful standard of conduct.

They will honor their "friend" by working hard to make sure that stakeholders never learn of the controversy over the scope of the upcoming audit; and therefore never have an opportunity to stand up for what they believe in.

With friends like this, who needs enemies?
Shame on you, editors.

Shame on you.
