At least according to the editors at the Trib.
Lest I put words in their mouths;
How did she vote any more squarely than did Marty Esquivel, or Mary Lee Martin, or Gordon Rowe?One person can make a difference.
And in the case of Albuquerque Public Schools, on the issue of a fully certified and armed school police force, that person is school board President Paula Maes.
In perhaps the most controversial of many issues currently ensnaring the Albuquerque Board of Education, Maes on Wednesday stood above the rhetoric and the political correctness. She showed courage and leadership.
How did she stand any higher above the rhetoric than did Mr. Esquivel, who was by far the most articulate and compelling advocate of the decision?
What courage and what leadership is shown by voting for arming police officers, on Wednesday night, and then disarming them the next morning?
The argument that the APS Police must be a stand-alone police force before they can carry their guns is crushed by the obvious fact that they are carrying guns already. They do not have to be part of a stand alone police force to carry guns during the day.
The issue is a red herring.
The editors at the Trib know that it is,
and are foisting the stinky piece of fish on their readers;
...who up to this point, might actually have trusted them to be telling the truth.

I wonder how much she had to pay out to be our Hometown Hero. Give me a break.
Next the trib will be telling us to elect Ms. Cordova for the new superintendent!
People are allowed to have their own opinions in America, right? Ms. Maes, as ethically repugnant to some who have achieved a higher understanding of earthly motivations than "getting fat at the trough", also has a right to her earthly clinging, money grubbing, keep the system going so you can graft it mentality. As long as she commits no crimes that anyone outside the circle of trough eaters SEES, she can keep being a pig who walks on two legs, who tells the other animals she is the only one to sleep on a bed, but look, no sheets! Ah, Orwell, you knew us even then.
