The annual budget of the state of New Mexico is between 4 and 5 Billion dollars.

APS spends about a Billion.

Therefore, between 20% and 25% of the state's annual budget is spent by the APS Financial Division.

The recent Meyners Audit of the APS Financial Division revealed that;

1. the APS Financial Division did not have (and has never had) adequate, written, financially sound policies and procedures, and that
2. the APS Financial Division has never really enforced those policies and procedures that they did have, and that
3. the APS Financial Division has never kept adequate records of the spending of between a fifth and a fourth of the state's entire annual budget. (At least not accurate and complete enough to send anyone to jail for wasting or stealing public resources.)
   

We also know that two subordinates in the APS Financial Division, who should have blown the whistle on the scandal and did not, have been promoted to two of the most senior positions in the cover-up/repair of the division.

We know, that unless there has been a miracle of biblical proportion, millions of dollars have been lost or stolen.

We know that APS school board head honcho, Paula Maes, has said she will never allow an honest and impartial audit of the leadership of the APS, that will name names.

And finally, we know that neither Winston Brooks, nor any
member of the board will discuss any of this on the record.

They don't allow inconvenient questions.

And that's about it.


Unless you can find for yourself,
some reason to go to the board meeting tomorrow afternoon,
and let them know in some way, that all of this displeases you.

They are after all, your servants.
You are after all, their master.
