Only one reason to hide the truth

What are stakeholders to read into the fact that the leadership
of the APS simply refuses to answer legitimate questions?

Is there a good and ethical reason not to answer questions
about the public corruption and criminal conspiracy in the
leadership of the APS (police dept)?

It has been almost two years since the scandal became public.
Stakeholders were promised that evidence would be
surrendered to District Attorney Kari Brandenburg.

According to Rigo Chavez, the evidence is still not surrendered.
A matter of weeks before statutes of limitations expire, Chavez
says that "investigations" are still underway, and that is why
the leadership of the APS has not surrendered a single document
to the District Attorney's Office.

If the leadership of the APS had the character and the courage
to answer questions, they would have to explain how such a
simple investigation could still sit undone two years later.

The obvious answer is that the good ol' boys in charge of the
investigation, are acting in the interests of the good ol' boys
who got caught with their pants down (literally).

The Meyners Audit revealed that as many as millions of dollars
have been lost or stolen in a finance division

1. without adequate policies, and
2. without adequate accountability to policies, and
3. without adequate record keeping.

And the leadership of the APS isn't answering questions about
that scandal either.

Why were two subordinates who never blew the whistle on
the shenanigans in the APS Finance Division, promoted to
positions of influence in the repair of the division, and in the
cover up of the truth about how many tax dollars have been
lost to incompetence and corruption?

Winston Brooks claims to want increased communication with
stakeholders, and increased community confidence in his
administration of the public trust and treasure.

His refusal to be candid, forthright, and honest about past
and existing problems, speaks loudly in contradiction to his
supposed goals.

APS is in real danger of not being able to pass another bond
issue or mill levy ever.

APS will be forgiven their past mistakes in particular if they
are honest about the mistakes and about the changes that
have been made to remedy them.

APS, Winston Brooks, will not be forgiven for hiding the truth.

Because there really is only one reason to hide the truth.
