Darren White, Martin Heinrich, fundamentally dishonest.

Martin Heinrich attaches his name, reputation and credibility to an ad which represents that Darren White fell to an 89% vote of no confidence among the state police officers he commanded.

The truth is that 89% of those who voted, 61%, voted no confidence. The truth is that 54% of White's subordinates voted no confidence in his leadership. Heinrich's representation is dishonest. Note worthy; Martin Heinrich cannot look voters in the eye while he makes this claim.

Darren White offers no explanation except to blow off the vote by suggesting that the now disgraced Manny Aragon had something to do with it, and therefore voters should pay no attention. Unless Darren White has some evidence that the results were somehow manipulated or falsified by Aragon, Aragon's involvement does not play.

White
had an opportunity to erase the stigma of his rejection by simply conducting another vote of confidence by his current batch of subordinates, and chose not to.

It is interesting that we sit and watch and listen to fundamentally dishonest campaign ads, and then are somehow surprised when dishonesty rears its ugly head after they get elected.

They all end their ads with; my name is, _________
and I am responsible for this ad.

Obviously they are not.

Leave State Police in Darren White's hands
SECTION: Opine; Pg. A-9
LENGTH: 501 words

"…Last month, White was given a vote of no confidence from the New Mexico State Police Association; reason enough for the rest of our state's population to be glad he's the top cop. Sen. Aragon's assault, too, should be viewed from the framework of crass politics thus as evidence in favor of leaving the State Police under White's demanding leadership."

There are those who represent themselves as informed on the issue of morale in the BCSO,
who write on the backside of the eye on albuquerque.

They claim, albeit anonymously, the Darren White would not survive another vote.

I think the question is reasonable.

I cannot think of a good and ethical reason for his refusal to enable another vote.

Do not forget that Darren White refuses to report an ethically redacted truth about the felony criminal misuse of the NCIC data base on his watch.

Darren White will not tell the truth.
