Why doesn't Jon Barela just 'fess up?

There is no law, no rule, no regulation, no policy which prevents
Jon Barela from responding immediately to a complaint that he
violated NM Republican Party Rules by not vacating his state
office before contesting against other republicans running for
the school board.

If he has a good and ethical explanation, there is no reason to
keep it secret even one day longer.



Today is the eighth business day in the complaint process
and the tenth day that Jon Barela has had to figure out

what would Scooby doo?

He is a senior role model of a standard of conduct that requires
a candid, forthright, honest, and rather immediate response
to the complaint.

He is responsible along with the rest of the leadership of the
APS for enforcing that standard of conduct upon students.
