White welcomes probe, so does Esquivel

Public Safety Director Darren White
says he welcomes a probe into the
circumstances of his wife's car crash
and role he played in the aftermath.









APS School Board Member
Marty Esquivel said
the same thing, link.

He begs, he says, for a
"rigid examination" of
how APS operates.

So, one wonders,
why would public servants
honestly welcome probes into their public service?

I can think of two reasons, either;

1. they are proud of their public service, and want to shine light on it, or
2. they are confident that whatever "probing" is done, won't illuminate their shame.

Let's give White and Esquivel the benefit of the doubt. Let's assume that they have nothing to hide and really welcome probes of their public service because they have nothing to hide.

Where is the evidence of that welcome?

Where are their previous probes? Where are their ongoing probes?

Where is the probe of the joint public corruption involving senior APS administrators, the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office, and the felony criminal misuse by senior APS administrators, of the NCIC criminal data base entrusted to then Sheriff, Darren White?

The probe was done; it's called the Caswell Report. It points to
evidence and testimony about public corruption in the the APS
and in the Sheriff's Office. It's being hidden from public knowledge by Esquivel, White and others, in violation of Inspection of Public Records law.

And it's not because they have nothing to hide.

If these guys welcome probes, how do they explain that they
are hiding one as hard as they can?

Someone should ask Esquivel if he really begs for a rigid examination of his handling of public corruption in the APS Police Department and the covering up of the Caswell Report.

Someone should ask Darren White if he welcomes a probe of his handling of felony criminal misuse of his NCIC database by senior APS administrators.

Someone should ask Journal Editor Kent Walz why he won't investigate and report upon credible allegations and incontrovertible evidence of public corruption and incompetence in the leadership of the APS and city government.
