Winston Brooks, Steve Flores, Thomas Miller, and Gary Norris

are the only candidates that can represent themselves
as "other than" APS good ol boys.

Linda Sink
cannot. Dickie Gallegos cannot.

It is fair to assume a few things about good ol' boys clubs;

  • they have filled organizational vacuums everywhere.
  • and a good ol' boy from anywhere,
    is a good ol' boy everywhere.
Being a bit of a cynic, I think that the fact that these people have risen to the top of other organizations (which are probably good ol' boys clubs too) makes the likelihood that they are good ol' boys, so great that they are compelled to demonstrate that they are not.

One of the specific questions that we cannot ask them is

Are you a good ol' boy? Will you cover Paula's ass?

Or will you begin an immediate impartial forensic
administrative accountability audit
of the good ol' boys club that runs the APS?


There is really only one way to prove
that you are not a good ol' boy.

And that is a record of holding good ol' boys accountable;
honestly accountable,
to meaningful standards of conduct and competence.


Any candidate who is not willing to begin the audit that
Paula and the boys fear so much,

is in fact, just another good ol' boy.


The last thing we need in the APS, is another good ol' boy.
