What keeps you from standing up?

What keeps you from standing up at the public forum at the
next school board meeting and reading the following statement;

There is a public perception of a lack of accountability in the leadership of the APS.

New Mexico State Governor Bill Richardson
said; the leadership of the APS has a state wide earned reputation for its lack of financial accountability.

The recent Meyners Audit of the APS Financial Division
revealed that a billion tax dollars were being spent every
year in a division where;

  • there were not adequate written financially sound rules,
  • there was inadequate enforcement of those rules, and
  • there was inadequate record keeping.


Albuquerque Mayor Marty Chavez
tried to change the law
to allow him to appoint school board members, out of his
concern for their lack of accountability.

Former Albuquerque Public Schools Chief of Police,
Gil Lovato,
who was placed on administrative leave for six
months, rather than allow him to testify in open court,
said;

when the truth gets out, there won't be a single senior
administrator left standing.

There is every reason to demand an immediate full scale
forensic accountability audit of the entire leadership of the
APS.

There is no apparent reason not to begin that audit,
except to protect the corrupt and the incompetent in the
leadership of the APS.

If you have a good and ethical reason that you are not
beginning the audit; you must share it with stakeholders.

If you have a good and ethical reason to prevent even the
discussion of your refusal to begin the audit; you must
share it with stakeholders.

thank you.
