Accountability is fatal to corruption and incompetence.

Absolute accountability is absolutely fatal.

Corruption and incompetence thrive in the dark.
Once exposed to the light of day, they are done.
(At least in theory.)

It is possible to make it impossibly difficult to hide corruption
and incompetence.

Transparent accountability to meaningful standards of conduct
and competence, will end the culture of corruption.

If Mayor Marty Chavez uttered out loud, the phrase
"transparent accountability", he would be struck by lighting.

Candidate Richard Berry could, I assume, but has not.

Candidate Richard Romero has uttered the phrase
transparent accountability. In exchange for their vote,
he promises voters transparent accountability in city government.

Richard Romero has promised to end the culture of corruption.

Maybe he can; maybe he can't. It's a tough row to hoe.

But at least he put transparent accountability on the table.

No one else has.

Why are voters not entitled to ask candidates about their
intentions with regard to making their administration
transparently accountable to the public,
and to meaningful standards of conduct and competence?

Richard Romero will answer that question.
He will lay out a plan for transparent accountability.


Will Richard Berry?


Will the Founding Father of Character Counts! Marty Chavez?
