The terms of public service are the prerogative of the public. Fundamental among those terms; public servants are accountable to the public, and to meaningful standards of conduct and competence, at least for the eight measly hours a day that we have to "trust" them with the control over our power and our resources.

According to the COSO audit of the administration of the APS
There is;
"... no formalized process for employees to provide recommendations for improvements."
Consider for a long moment, what that says about the respect the leadership of the APS has, for the people who work under them.
On March 19, 2008, I presented Superintendant Brooks via one of his most trusted aids a document containing the following quote: "While on the job I have heard many really good innovative suggestions that would increase eficiency and save money. Many tmes these ideas do not pertain to our department but to the district as a whole. There seems to be no guaranteed channel through which to bring these ideas to the attention of anyone with authority to do anything about them. Again - would you be inclined to introduce such a program into APS?" Albeit I was promised an answer (as usual) I did not get one.
