Alb. Journal Still Pushing Sink for Supt.

The Journal has given Interim Superintendent Linda Sink
yet another front page spread in support of her "candidacy".

When was the last time a candidate for APS Superintendent
got two front page spreads
before the other candidates were even identified?

Shameless.

Tommy Lang, Kent Walz, and/or whomever else
at the Journal is pushing Sink's candidacy,
does so at the cost of public confidence
in the entire selection process.

If, when, she is ultimately hired, there will always be
a lingering doubt over the process by which
the existing administrative leadership effectively retained

• control over the APS,
• control over public records
  of public corruption, and criminal conspiracy
• control over evidence that speaks to Darren White's conduct and competence
• control over evidence that speaks related to Kari Brandenburg's conduct and competence
  
• control over the record of APS/Maes/Modrall's conduct and competence,
  
  and most importantly of all;
  
  
• control over the future of an immediate, full scale administrative accountability audit.

Sink has already let it slip that she has no intention
of commissioning an audit that would not only expose
the corrupt and incompetent in the leadership of the APS;

but would likely expose the ties to the the media,
including the Journal, that have enabled hiding
the truth about the APS ethics and accountability scandal
heretofore.

If the other candidates were even known,

Thomas Lang could express his support for a candidate;
on the editorial page;

but not hidden on the front page in disguise.

This shameless promotion of "their" candidate
before the process is even firmly underway,
is entirely inappropriate

and illuminates the collusion between the Journal
and APS leadership, to pervert the process and
to effectively disenfranchise APS stakeholders,

to install "their" first pick;

a superintendent with a proven track record

of deliberately lying to stakeholders. >>link<<


Remember that the last step in the process
is when the school board secretly selects a name
from a list of names
long enough to include Linda Sink's.
