What's in it for Thomas J Lang, Publisher

of the Albuquerque Journal.

I once asked the leadership of the APS to tell me how many tax dollars go through them to Thomas J. Lang.

They wouldn't tell me.


Let's say they spend a half a million a year advertising in the Journal.


Which begs at least one question;

Why do they need to advertise in a local paper at all?

If there is a teacher looking for a job in Albuquerque,
and they cannot find their way to 6400 Uptown Blvd
looking for employment;

are they really smart enough to be a teacher, anyway?


Maybe that's what Monica Armenta does all day.

She oversees the person who oversees the person who
oversees the clerk who pushes the button that SENDs
a half a million tax dollars a year into Tommy Lang's
bank account.

And then negotiates with him to decide what Zsombor Peter
will and will not investigate and report upon.

Good question...what would aPS do with an advertising budget that large?
Amazing what they/ve pulled on us...and still we find more!

In fairness, I am just guessing at the actual dollar amount; something that I wouldn't be required to do if they would just tell the truth.
