Weh has no plan to end the culture of corruption.

I don't know that for a fact.

But if he has a plan, why does it need to be kept secret?

Are we supposed to believe that this is a tactical necessity because he is sneaking up on the good ol' boys?

Gubernatorial candidate Colonel Allen Weh says; he wants to
"clean up" Santa Fe.

If he has an objective, surely he has a plan to get there.






Surely he has a battle plan with a little more detail than,
beating the shit out of everyone with a baseball bat.

Diane Denish has a plan on the table. It needs some work,
but at least it is there. Greg Solano also put his plan on the
table for critical review. In fact, he was the first; Denish followed on a few days later with the plan that she had been working on "for months".

Why does this veteran combat leader, not have a plan?

Everyone that has ever been elected governor, planned
to "clean up" Santa Fe. None of their plans worked.

None of their plans were laid out for critical review.

I mean seriously, if Bill Richardson had showed us his
plan to hire hundreds of his cronies, and take ridiculously
large contributions in exchange for taxpayer milking contracts,

he might not have been elected in opposition to some more
workable plan to "clean up" Santa Fe.

Someone tell me please, why it is not reasonable of us to expect candidates for election to offer to critical review, their plan to actually do what ever it is that the are promising to do?

Planning to fix everything that is wrong with public education,
is far different from having an actual plan to fix everything that is wrong with public education. Or any other issue.

What ever their plan is, to do what ever it is that they are promising to do, must have two elements. They are fundamental. They are; inescapable accountability and unequivocal standards.

The standards are the easy part. The hard part is getting a powerful person to hold them self honestly accountable to those standards; by a system over which they have no undue influence, and powerful enough to hold them accountable, even against their will.

The hard part is getting a powerful person to expose them self to absolute transparency in their public service.

If a candidate for election, does not show us their plan for inescapable accountability to unequivocal standards of conduct and competence in public service,

we should deny them our vote. And then start looking for someone who will.

No one has a plan up that any body else has stood up for.

When Senator Linda Lopez hopped
on board the Denish train,
she made no endorsement of Denish's
ethics reform plan. She didn't even mention it.

It is because ethics reform,
is not really her priority, link.






If these people are such great consensus makers, why can't they get even one other heavy hitter to climb aboard with ending the culture of corruption and incompetence in state government, at once and for all?
