Balderas' Office won't help

I have come to the conclusion that State Auditor Hector Balderas, seen here explaining to me how underfunded and understaffed is his Office, will not intervene in the whistleblower scandal in APS.

His Office knows that the APS School Board promised a layer of due process in whistleblower complaint adjudication and then reneged on that promise. Every complainant who filed a complaint (more than 300 of them) did so under an assurance that the administration of their complaint would see executive review and approval. The Auditor's Office knows the APS Board rewrote their policy to excuse their past misconduct and relieve themselves of any future responsibility and obligation to ensure due process for whistleblower complaints against Winston Brooks and other administrators.

In the future (as in the past), if a complaint is filed against APS Supt Winston Brooks, that complaint will be adjudicated by one of his subordinates. Administrators will be adjudicating complainants against fellow administrators. The blatant conflict of interest will be ignored.

The Board reneged on their commitment and obligation out of cowardice and corruption. If there is a good and ethical reason to deny complainants their impartial review of the administrative handling of complaints against other administrators, I cannot imagine it, and no one in the leadership of the APS has articulated it.

It would appear that the Board cannot be held accountable
for their cowardice and corruption under the auspices of the
State Auditor.

The same disappointment flows
from the Office of Attorney General
Gary King's. I tried to get him/them
to do something about the fact that
APS senior administrators were
involved in felony criminal misconduct,
and the leadership of the APS is hiding
the evidence.

I told them for example, that that
Winston Brooks and the Board are
hiding a public record; the Caswell
Report; the results of an independent investigation into public corruption in the leadership of the APS Police Department and the APS. They won't do anything about it.

Gary King's Office knows the leadership of the APS is hiding solid evidence of felony criminal misconduct involving senior APS administrators, long enough for statutes of limitation to expire, and his Office won't do anything about it.


Neither will DA Kari Brandenburg.

Who is more aware than she that
the APS Police Department is yet
to surrender evidence of felony
criminal misconduct by members
of the APS Police Department?

She says its not her responsibility
to investigate. She can do nothing,
she says, to keep the APS Police
Department from "investigating"
their own corruption and hiding the evidence for ever.

The Albuquerque Police Department won't take complaints
about crimes that take place on school property. They told
me, tell it to the APS PD; the subjects of my complaint.

The APS Police Department is a publicly funded, private police force. It is not accredited, certified, certificated, or accountable to anyone but Winston Brooks and the School Board.

They are a Praetorian Guard in every sense.

Right now, they are enforcing
an illegal restraining order
penned by Marty Esquivel,
that revoked my "privilege"
to attend school board meetings.

Paula Maes signed off on it too.

The Praetorian Guard will
arrest me if I attempt to
exercise my right to stand up at the podium at a school board meeting in order to exercise my constitutionally protected
human rights to speak freely and to petition my government.

The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office is of no use. It and then

Sheriff, Darren White, were party
to APS' felony criminal misuse of
the NCIC federal database entrusted
to White.

They allowed APS administrators
to do background checks on
whistle blowers; a criminal invasion
of their privacy.

Someone, they won't say who, thought
it would be a good idea to use the
NCIC criminal database to run a background check on then
APS Asst Supt Tom Savage's fiancee. These illegal background
checks were felonies, and they are being covered up.

The leadership of the APS is breaking one law after another
in plain sight and there's nobody in law enforcement
who will do anything about it.

They get away with it in no small
part because the establishment
media won't investigate and
report upon any aspect of the
ethics and accountability scandal
in the leadership of the APS;
Kent Walz and the Journal
worst among them.

Walz is caught here giving a
Hero of Transparency award
to Winston Brooks, knowing full
well that Brooks and APS are hiding public records of public
corruption in the APS Police Department; the Caswell Report.

Brooks and the board are hiding the truth about corruption in
the leadership of the APS, all the while, Walz and School Board
heavy hitter Marty Esquivel are making Brooks look honest by
hooking him up with a (formerly prestigious) award for being
a "hero of transparency".

They gave Brooks the NM Foundation for Open Government's
Dixon Award, while he was, and continues to, hide the truth
from stakeholders, even in violation of the law.

Either that or I'm a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy nut-job and
none of this is really happening.
