Good ol' boy speak; NM DOT scandal

from the Journal;

"The governor is satisfied that Secretary Faught has taken the appropriate responsibility for mistakes made during the course of the project, and she is taking the necessary steps to restore the public trust in the Department of Transportation..."


translated into stakeholder speak;

• the good ol' boy responsible for the screw up will not be "punished" for screwing up,
• will maintain her current job, salary and benefits.
• and the systemic and institutional practices that enabled the screw up, and then protect the screwer upper from honest accountability for the screw up; will not be addressed

Sleep tight.
