APS says it "does not comment on pending lawsuits".

In what is perhaps the greatest understatement of all time, KRQE covering a lawsuit filed against APS, reported; "APS said it does not comment on pending lawsuits."


Unless a comment lends credence to the positive image that APS spends nearly a million dollars a year trying to create; the leadership of the APS does not comment on lawsuits pending or even long settled.

They will "not comment" on the millions and millions of operational dollars they spend on litigation and legal weaselry in order to arrive at settlements in which school board members and senior administrators get to admit “no guilt” regardless of actual guilt.

Not only will they “not comment”, they will spend even more tax dollars on even more litigation in efforts to forestall the production of public records; in order to avoid candor, forthrightness and honesty with stake and interest holders.

The decisions regarding the operational funds they spend on cost-is-no-object legal defenses continue to be made in meetings in secret, of which no recordings are made, and without oversight.

They will “not comment” on the fact that APS (taxpayers are) paying higher insurance premiums because the leadership of the APS spends so much money on litigation.

They will "not comment" on the ongoing ethics, standards and accountability crisis in the leadership of the APS.

No ethics, standards and accountability audit,
no new taxes.
