There was an interesting comment on refusethejuice.typepad.com the other day.
I reprint it here in it’s entirety:
I was walking past Evan Mohl’s cubicle at the Times and found these notes on the floor:
T Garcia missed 6 of 12 pension meetings.
She left the meetings early 4 other times.
Studer missed 4 meetings and left early 2 times.
Arrieta missed 4 meetings and left early once.
Arrieta and Studer gave the director a SUPERIOR performance rating for his evaluation last March.
At one meeting, Arrieta voted in FAVOR of buying a building because “it was closer to downtown”.
No wonder the 3 amigos are backpedaling so furiously.
Good thing these items didn’t make it into the article.

Ignoring the moral aspects of this person’s snooping the comment raises some questions if it is true.
Is the Times being objective?
Is this a power play between the pension fund members and the city?
Is the Times returning a favor to the city?

TIMES editor Bob Moore responded to a couple of reader comments on today’s article about EPISD principals being removed from their positions. Others immediately asked why the information he posted was not included in the article. Check out the article, but more importantly the comments below the article. People have asked Moore to answer the question.

In the city e-mails that attorney Stephanie Townsend-Allala obtained and thar are in Chucoleaks.org, there is an August 14, 2012 message exchange here Joyce Wilson tells Rep. Cortney Niland that the pension fund director is a “boozer and a partier” and that she should request info on operating and travl expenditures. But she tells her to wait before requesting tecords. Why? This would appear to atrongly indicate that Wilson knew what was going on with the oension fund and in dereliction of duty, chose to keep it hush until it suited her fancy. Niland was also complicit and now appears hypocritical in asking for investigations and talking about fiduciary responsibilities. There are other emails from city reos also talking about shortfalls. They all have some serious questions to answer, but Joyce Wilson and her employees especially.
