Stakeholder rights to the truth.

Stakeholders have a legitimate right to the ethically redacted truth about the spending of their power and their resources.

When a senior public servant has done or not, something that warrants their removal from their service to us, we have a right to know the truth about the misspending of our power and/or our resources that justified that removal.

If politicians and public servants are allowed to hide the truth from stakeholders, how are we to hold them accountable to us?

How are we to hold board members accountable for their oversight over the administration, if we are told nothing about administrative conduct and competence; if we know nothing about the consequences that follow administrative misconduct?

If we don't know if APS Supt Winston Brooks is doing a good job or not, how can we hold board members accountable for his hiring and the half million dollar golden parachute they have given him via their multiple extensions of his contract?

If voters don't know the truth about Brooks handling of the public corruption and incompetence in the APS Police Department, link, how can we hold Board Members accountable for their continued support of him?

If voters don't know the truth about the denial of due process to more than 300 whistle blower complaints against the administration, how can they hold Board Members accountable for their part in covering up administrative corruption and incompetence?

If voters don't know the truth about the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS, they can they hold Board Members Esquivel, Griego, and Lucero accountable in February, for their failure to hold themselves honestly accountable as role models of the APS Student Standards of Conduct?

Voters are entitled to the ethically redacted truth about the spending of their power and resources, and about the public service of their servants.

How are voters to cast informed
ballots if Editor Kent Walz,

seen here telling the New Mexico
Foundation for Open
Government, why he and
Marty Esquivel think
Winston Brooks deserved
an award for being a
Champion of Transparency,

continues to cover up the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS,

even through another school board election?
