I talked to the APS cameramen and asked them why their footage didn’t repre...

The cameramen expressed neither regret nor remorse over the manner in which they pointed their cameras during the school board meeting. The footage they shot is the record of how impartially it was shot. Is it dishonest to create a deliberately misleading version of...

“…fear of retribution and retaliation is part of APS culture…”

If you knew nothing else, you know that, that is a symptom of organizational ill health. I did not choose the word culture, the Council of Great City Schools did. Culture; “the sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings and transmitted from one...

Get Out of Jail Free cards for administrators and the school board; paid for...

APS senior administrators have a reputation for fiscal incompetence and corruption, and of dodging accountability. I have paraphrased Governor Richardson’s remarks from before the last bond election. Yet they are the stewards of hundreds of millions of tax dollars. They...

Public servants cannot be compelled to answer legitimate questions about thei...

What part of that premise is acceptable? School Board President Paula Maes says board members will not answer questions during public forum. She implied that questions will be answered elsewhere. In truth, the question, “Will you hold yourself honestly accountable to a...

Journal and Trib play down board elections

On February 6, 2007, voters will make a decision on another school tax issue. A Journal reader would think that, that was all that was happening that day. No mention that, on the same day voters will decide who they must trust with that money. One of the most often heard...

The Albuquerque Journal and Tribune cannot report credibly on the APS ethics ...

…until they report credibly on their failure to report credibly on the APS ethic scandal, so far. If my allegations of scandal are true, and the papers have known about it even through two elections; then it goes without saying that the Journal and Tribune have done...

Albuquerque Public Schools Ethics Scandal; the MIA

There is an ethics scandal in the Albuquerque Public Schools. A lot of people know about it; a lot of people aren’t doing anything about it. That is wrong; if the allegation is true. If that is really the issue; then consider this. No one in the APS has denied it. Who?...

Is it fair for newspapers to refuse to cover a political candidate or position?

There has been much upset over candidates who refuse to debate. I am a candidate who longs for debate. I have a point of view that longs for public exposure; ending corruption and incompetence in public service. I have the answer, and the Albuquerque Journal and...

Your Tax Dollars at Work -- Teaching Students to be Christians

"On the 13th, The Houston Chronicle reported that a move to use the Bible as a study tool has become what every critic said it would be -- a way to indoctrinate children on the public dime."Public school students don't need to go to church on Sunday for a strong dose...
