Taxpayer's Paid for a Search for Ways for Robert Lucero to Get Around the Law

From a Journal editorial (sub req)

"School board member Robert Lucero has suggested withholding the names of applicants for superintendent of Albuquerque Public Schools until the field was winnowed down. He and board member Gordon Rowe asked board attorney Art Melendres to research applicability of the law to a private search firm. "We might be able to get around some of the issues" that have forced other local governments to open up administrator searches, he said."

What he and Rowe were looking for was a way to get around some of the issues (like open government laws).

I resent the use of my tax dollars to pay lawyers from the school board president's law firm, to find ways for the leadership of the APS to break laws without being held accountable.

This is what I am writing about when I argue that the leadership of the APS is not accountable; even to the law.

This is what I am writing about when I argue that Paula Maes, Robert Lucero, et al, are using public resources (to litigate) against the public interest.

As Lucero would say ...
"That's money they could use on books in the classroom."
