Hector Balderas cannot ask for our vote

If Hector Balderas, by the time he asks for our votes,

has not surrendered to the public record,
a candid, forthright, and honest accounting of
what has happened in the APS Financial Division,

he has no right to ask for our trust, our confidence, or our vote.

According to the Meyners Audit, the APS Finance Division
is spending a billion dollars a year

• without adequate, written, financially sound, policies and procedures, and
• without adequate accountability to what polices and procedures there are, and
• without keeping records complete and accurate enough to send anybody to prison.

Subordinate administrators who did not blow the whistle on the corruption and incompetence, have been promoted to positions from which they can cover up the whole thing.

Unless there has been a miracle of biblical proportion,
millions of tax dollars have been lost to corruption and
incompetence. And taxpayer stakeholders will never know
the truth.


Before Hector Balderas can ask for our votes,

he will tell us about the miracle,

or he will tell us the truth about the squandering
of our trust and our treasure,

by the leadership of the Albuquerque Public Schools.


Fair enough?
