why NOT audit the APS? why NOT audit all public service.

What is the down side?

Why would we not want to do it?

Every year, hire impartial experts to examine the administration of public trust and treasure, by public servants.

Why not?

The only good and ethical reason is that it would cost some money. Very little money, in the overall scheme of things.

In fact, if the business model reflected continuous preparation for an audit; it would cost next to nothing.

The auditors would look for effective and efficient business and management practices.

They would look for effective and efficient business and management practitioners.

They would report back to the public; directly,
candidly, forthrightly and honestly.

And the public would be in a position to hold their servants honestly accountable for their conduct and competence as public servants; and within their public service.

Every year.

Why not?

Except to protect the interests of those whose interests
are served by keeping incompetence and corruption
hidden from public knowledge?

School Board head honcho Paula Maes said that she will never allow any audit that will hold any senior administrator or board member, individually accountable for their conduct and competence as public servants.

She has made good on her promise.

Even the Meyners Audit; which revealed that

• there have never been rules enough to protect a billion dollars a year, and
• they have never actually followed what rules that they did have, and
• they haven't kept records accurate and complete enough to send anybody to jail.

did not reveal a single name of a single public servant who is individually responsible for exposing a billion tax dollars a year, to all manner of incompetence and corruption.

Unless a miracle has not taken place, taxpayers are out
millions of dollars.



Why not conduct an impartial audit of power and resources
that are fundamentally yours, every year?



If enough people go to an APS Board Meeting and
stand up at the Public Forum
and exercise their right to petition their government

and as the subject of their petition,

demand an immediate full scale forensic audit;

there will be an audit.

And there never will be another single taxpayer dime lost
to the waste in the APS; waste precipitated by
unmitigated public corruption and incompetence.

There will not be a single good ol' boy left standing.

Accountability is 100% fatal to incompetence and corruption.


It is not going to happen, except that
you stand up for what you believe in,
for two measly minutes.

When the founding fathers wrote the constitution,
they wisely included protection for your right
to stand up to your government.

And then they paid to defend that principle
sometimes with their very lives.

I wonder if it even occurred to them, that there would ever
be a generation that could not be bothered enough
no only to defend it, but even to exercise it?

What if they could see you now?

Surely, they must be spinning in their graves.
