There were two articles in the Journal this morning
about the school board meeting last night.
Neither article mentioned the fact that the board passed a motion that created a committee to determine the form and function of the upcoming administrative accountability audit.
The audit is still languishing in a publicity vacuum.
You have to wonder, why?
What does Journal editor Charlie Moore have to gain by refusing to inform stakeholders about an audit that has the potential to eliminate forever, corruption and incompetence in the leadership of the APS; and ultimately in public service in general?
I struggle with this question a lot. I can think of no reason, other than the fact that there are politically powerful people in this community who don't like the idea of impartial audits of the conduct and competence of public servants.
Audits would clearly benefit taxpayers and stakeholders. There is nothing but an upside to identifying corrupt and incompetent public servants, and the practices that enable them.
Only the corrupt and incompetent have anything to fear from an audit.
So why is Charlie Moore protecting them?
Why is he stonewalling the question?
There is no "good" reason; no good reason at all.

Accountability audit still a secret, in the Journal.

I thought that comittee was already a done deal with Marty offering to chair it the Lucero elbowing his way in, NO?
It had been approved by the policy committee but required approval from the full board to be validated.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Is Marty still chairing it and do they have a timetable? I was sick when I heard Lucero and Facio were on the search committee.
I too wonder what is up with the papers. I write and submit questions ideas, but they are never published I suspect because they hit a nerve.
Marty is still the chair; no meetings scheduled yet.
