Journal Editors endorse APS bond issue and mill levy

In their editorial this morning, Journal editors asked voters to support

"...right-sized ... crucial maintenance and construction bond funding requests " on November 5th.

The request comes framed in the usual way; forget about the relentless lack of accountability in the APS and trust them with more hundreds of millions of tax dollars.  Their actual words were;
It would be truly unfortunate if voters could not look past her silence and big pay hike when it’s time to vote for essential school maintenance and construction projects.
... begging at least one question;
how many times will voters follow the Journal's advice and keep underwriting corruption and incompetence in the leadership of the APS by continuing to pass bond issues and mill levies in the name of "students" while disregarding the abject lack of honest to God accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence within public service in the leadership of the APS?

How can Journal editors, year after year, election after election, continue to ask voters to "look past" the ethics, standards and accountability crisis in the leadership of the APS, instead of doing what they should be doing; exposing the scandal and enabling voters to hold them accountable at the polls?
