The Albuquerque Journal continues cover-up of board vacancy.

According to promises made on the APS website, the Journal
has been told about the vacancy in APS school board district 7.

A process is underway to fill the seat that Gordy Rowe is finally
formally vacating.

In a two page spread on "schools", which begins with a report
on testing, link sub req, stakeholders are informed about the
important and the unimportant clear down to what schools
will be serving for lunch this week.

But readers are not informed of a vacancy on the board, or
about the process by which another stakeholder might put
their name in the hat; a process which closes in three days.

The fewer people that know about the vacancy, the fewer
people will pay attention, and the easier it will be for the
board to install Modrall lawyer, Jon Barela, who will join with
the board in obstructing an impartial audit of the relationship
between the APS and school board head honcho, Paula Maes'
husband's law firm, the Modrall, which makes millions of dollars
litigating against the public interest and protecting APS
administrators from the consequences of their incompetence and
corruption, and from accountability even to the law.
