After an exchange of emails with Mario Burgos

I have come to the conclusion that he is not much bothered
by stonewalling.

He finds it acceptable that when Darren White is asked for
the truth about the APS BCSO scandal;

White's response is to stonewall; to pretend that he
hasn't heard the question.

I can't help but wonder how different things might be,
if only stonewalling was not acceptable;

if public servants had to actually respond to legitimate
questions about their public service;

candidly, forthrightly, and honestly.


Remember when they used to slam the door in Larry Barker's
face rather than answer his questions.

Remember when that's what they had to do?
Now he doesn't even ask.
