Unless they happened to be watching Jessica Garate's report
or read this blog, no one in the entire community knows that
Monica Armenta's mother just got a sweet deal from the
APS (taxpayers). link
Zsombor Peter and the Journal don't think voters, taxpayers,
and other stakeholders have a right to know;
A senior APS administrator just let a contract with Armenta's
mother's company, for phone service for the APS.
Her bid was the highest bid by more than 30%.
It has been suggested that the service provided by
Monica Armenta's mother's company,
was not all that good in the first place.
The leadership of the APS refuses to submit this deal to
an impartial forensic audit. They refuse to let anyone with
any authority look at their spending of the public trust and treasure.
There is reason to suspect that this deal requires impartial
examination;
- According to the CotGCS audit, the senior administrator that let the contract, John Dufay was promoted to his position by a system that did not require any objective demonstration of his character or competence. The chief requirement for his promotion was that he was a good ol' boy.
- The Meyners Audit revealed that the leadership of the APS never wrote down financially sound policies and procedures,
- and that they did not follow what policies and procedures that they did have, and
- they did not keep records complete and accurate enough to send anyone to jail.
Neither Meyners nor the leadership of the APS will
answer questions about criminal activity that was revealed
by the audit. Nor about the number of tax dollars that
were lost or stolen.
They will not answer any question, candidly, forthrightly, and honestly.
There is reason to believe that John Dufay let a contract
that will not stand to scrutiny.
If for no other reason than the fact that
the leadership of the APS will not allow scrutiny.
They have refused auditors from the State Auditor's
Office on at least two occasions.
They will not let the State Auditor see their books.
Zsombor Peter and the Journal will not ask for it.
All that he has to do is, to ask Monica Armenta to respond
to this post; and then report upon her response.
That is all anyone in the media has to do;
show them any one of my posts and ask for a candid,
forthright and honest response.
They won't; not Zsombor Peter and the Journal
not KOAT, not KOB, not KKOB, and not even
KRQE.
In whose interests? ??
