Why isn't Winston Brooks commissioning his own audit?

Governor Susana Martinez thinks APS Supt Winston Brooks
spends education funding poorly.

Brooks says he is doing a great job.

If he thought for even one minute
that an independent auditor would
say he is doing a "great job" or even
a not "bad" job, Brooks would order
an audit in a heartbeat.

He is fighting against an independent
audit because he cannot survive one.

He cannot point to standards and accountability in the leadership of the APS that are adequate to protect the public interests.

Monica Armenta and the APS Communications Department say Brooks is doing a great job,
because it is their job.

The School Board says Brooks is doing a great job; they've given him a half million dollar golden parachute.

The establishment media, based on their failure to point to Brooks administrative failures, say he is doing a great job.

The only one who hasn't said Brooks is doing a great job,
is an independent and impartial auditor.

The elephant in the room in Albuquerque is the overwhelming
need for an independent Administrative Accountability Audit
of the entire leadership of the APS; the administration and the
school board, and the fact that nobody in the establishment
media is willing to tell the truth about it. Not one of them
is willing to expose the ethics and accountability scandal
in the leadership of the APS.

The elephant in the room in the APS is the Caswell Report
on public corruption and felony criminal misconduct in the
leadership of the APS Police Department and administration.

• Editor Kent Walz and the Journal,


• News Director Sue Stephens and KOAT TV,


• News Director Julie Szulczewski and KOB TV, or
  


• News Director Iain Munro and KRQE TV.

One of them will be the first to tell the truth about the ethics and accountability scandal in the APS. One of them will be the first to confirm or refute the allegation; either of which is newsworthy. A scandal is self evidently newsworthy. That the leadership of the APS is scandal free, that there are in fact meaningful standards and honest accountability, would be newsworthy as well.

One of them will be the first to step up.
All the rest of them will be among the last.

"I pity the fool", wikilink, who exposes the scandal dead last.
Or worse yet, not at all.
