Journal Cover up of APS Scandal

Unassailable logic;

• Either there is, or there is not, an ethics, standards, accountability and role modeling crisis in the leadership of the APS.
• Either possibility is newsworthy.
• Stake and interest holders deserve to know either way. They must know if truth is that there is a scandal. They should know if there is not a scandal.
• Not knowing the truth serves no legitimate interest or agenda.
• The Albuquerque Journal has an obligation to report to stake and interest holders, about ethics, standards, accountability and role modeling in the leadership of the APS.

Ayn Rand wrote; To fear to face an issue is to believe that the worst is true.

The Journal’s refusal to investigate and report upon corruption and incompetence in the leadership of the APS, even to report that there is none, is to confirm that the worst is true.

1. There is an ethics, standards, accountability crisis in the leadership of the APS and
2. the Journal is covering it up.

If the leadership of the APS is accountable to meaningful standards of conduct and competence within their public service, all they have to do is point to those standards and to their accountability to those standards by any due process.

They cannot and the Journal will not report upon it.
