I think, we have been lied to.

In January of 2007, it was revealed that there had been a public corruption scandal in the leadership of the APS Police Department. There is considerable evidence to suggest a criminal conspiracy woven into the corruption.

I have been in search of the truth about the use of public power and resources in the commission of felony criminal misconduct.

Former APS Police Chief Gil Lovato said,

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

You can believe him on this one.

Gil Lovato, I think, must have a body map that is
the mother of all body maps. link

They have already pushed Beth Everitt, Tom Savage, and Gil Lovato off the train, and now they are closing ranks; they are getting ready to make their final stand.

One for all and, all for one.


On one side, I standing demanding that they tell us the truth.

On the other, they sit staring into their laptops pretending not to hear that they are being asked to set the time, and the day, and the place, where they will admit that they have chopped down the cherry tree. And then sold the wood. At a loss. And kept no records accurate and complete enough to send anyone to prison.

I demand that they finally, simply, tell the truth.

They stonewall.

I demand that they explain and defend their exception to honest accountability to any meaningful standard of conduct at all.

They stonewall.

Stonewalling is the only defense of their otherwise indefensible position.

The bottom line; they refuse to tell the truth.
They refuse to set a time, a day, and a place,
where they will stop stonewalling and start answering legitimate
questions; candidly, forthrightly and honestly.

The truth tellers at APS won't.



So anyway;

I think, we have been lied to.

I asked for the truth. This is part of my email to Rigo Chavez;

"... This constitutes a request for public records surrounding the investigations of the Albuquerque Public Schools Police Department in and around January 2007. It includes a request for all public records of any investigations or audits that were made necessary in following through on a complete investigation of APS institutionally and individually..."

Did I, or did I not, ask for the truth about all investigations?

To which Rigo Chavez responded;

"... With regard to your question about the use of a private investigator in the inquiry into the actions of former APS Police Chief Gil Lovato, you had asked who was in charge of the investigations. While a private investigator may have been used, the private investigator was not in charge of the investigation ..." (emphasis added)

And still, not one bit of truth about the investigation is surrendered to stakeholders,
as is supposedly guaranteed by law; the NMIPRA.

I think this is weaselry.

I think Rigo Chavez deliberately obstructed my effort to learn the truth about the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS;

in violation of the law.


I think, we have been lied to.


endnote;

This is what Jon Barela needed to become part of so badly, that the school board disenfranchised an entire electorate (link) in order to appoint him to the board. This is what Jon Barela needed to become part of so badly that he betrayed the trust of the Republican Party of New Mexico, by excepting himself from accountability to its rules about the conditions of the appointment.
