Monica; the fine print

I told you about APS'
Executive Director of
Communications Monica
Armenta, here seen
selling the world class
calendar she and her
million dollar Communications
Department produces, and
her PowerPoint slides, link.



This is one of the slides.

You can't see it, nor could most of the people in the room,
but on the very bottom, it reads; "public records requests".

Armenta would like community members she earns at least part of her $107K a year, by responding to requests for public records.

Ask her for a public record.

Ask her (you will actually ask APS Director of Communications Rigo Chavez who is APS Custodian of Public Records) for a public record. Ask her for the Caswell Report on an investigation into felony criminal misconduct involving APS senior administrators.

She will not surrender it.

She will tell you how they will get away with hiding this public record; "legal" weaselry, but she won't tell you why they will not surrender it.

She will not tell you the reason they are surrendering as little as the law requires, (as opposed to as much at the law allows). She will not admit that the reason they won't to surrender the report is because it names the names of corrupt and incompetent APS senior administrators who committed felonies, evidence and testimony of which is still being hidden from the District Attorney while statutes of limitation expire.

If there is any good and ethical reason to refuse to surrender an ethically redacted version of the Caswell Report to public knowledge, why would Armenta not point to it?

If you want to know why the leadership of the APS won't surrender the ethically redacted record, you will have to ask Armenta why the leadership of the APS will not surrender an ethically redacted report because her cronies in the media will not.
