If a Custodian of Public Records will not produce records, and if ...

... a Communications Specialist will not answer legitimate questions about the public interests in the public schools, candidly, forthrightly, honestly and in a timely manner, is it fair to hold her responsible and therefore accountable for her failure to produce public records according to the NM Inspection of Public Records Act and, for her failure to communicate the truth to stake and interest holders?

If the public trust and treasure is about to be squandered on litigation and legal weaselry in an effort to cover up an ethics, standards and accountability crisis in the leadership of the APS, is it fair to blame the records custodian/communications specialist?

If an old cover up of felony criminal misconduct involving APS senior administrators who were never held to account, is being covered up still, is it fair to blame the records custodian and communications specialist?

Probably not.

Most just, would be to hold accountable the APS Board of Education, who meet in secret, in meetings of which no recording is made, to decide how many hundreds and hundreds of thousand dollars they will spend on the litigation and legal weaselry that they'll need to continue their cover up their lack of ethics, standards and accountability and their state and federal felony criminal misconduct.

If only the Journal weren't in cahoots.
