The Piercing Truth

This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

MOU

Former Mayor Martin Chavez is becoming legendary for his little side agreements with his loyal minions. Firefighter's union President Diego Arencón signed an agreement with the Formerly Almighty Alcalde guaranteeing himself a hefty $90,000 a year salary despite holding a position as a Firefighter First Class (read it here). Ed Adams - Marty's right hand man - recently produced one of these little pieces of paper signed by former CAO Bruce Perlman that basically says that Adams has the right to keep his sweet salary ($147,000 a year) no matter what job he holds with the city.

Now our Eyes tell us that in the spirit of spreading the wealth to other Minion Alums, Lawrence Torres has produced a memorandum of understanding signed by former CAO and current Municipal Development employee Ed Adams that moved the former union president back to APD as a Patrolman 1st Class and like Adams Torres managed to keep his over $80,000 a year salary. The move was specifically designed to allow Torres to retire from APD.

You see, APD has a 20 year retirement. Despite the fact that Torres spent only around 15 years in open space, his service in HR (a non-public safety position) counts towards his PERA retirement if he retires from a public safety agency. The problem is according to our Eyes, Torres' allowed his state certification to lapse which would make him ineligible to return to APD as a sworn officer.

Our Eyes have it that back in late October, Deputy Chief McCabe spent some time over at the academy with Torres' file after which the file was noticeably bigger. It doesn't take a genius to guess that the additional forms might have something to do with Torres' certification.

Torres is set to retire later this week. It looks like he'll be able to use his salary from his job as "Employee Relations Director" to determine his retirement benefit and the fact that he's retiring from APD to make him eligible for a 20 year retirement.

The mistake that Adams and company may have made is in allowing Torres to take his former salary back to APD as a P1C. Our Eyes tell us that there are a number of officers who are none too happy that one of their fellow P1Cs was making roughly double their salary - even if it was for just a couple of months. Those officers are considering a lawsuit based on a violation of the APOA's collective bargaining agreement.

These little side agreements were standard operating procedure for the Chavez administration. What concerns us is that APD is still lead by those who have a vested interest in keeping these shenanigans under wraps. So far, three of Marty's closest Minions have been able to produce these MOUs. In the Torres case, Chief Schultz is directly responsible for allowing the move and potentially responsible for altering public records.

It's entirely possible that the Torres transfer was completely legal. But if Mayor Berry truly wants to create a transparent city government, every contract, every expense, every MOU needs to be easily accessible to the public. Taxpayers have to pay these bills... We should at least know what the bills are for.

If these things are true, why doesn't the city council clean house on these folks? Are they too part of the problem. The taxpayers are getting bilked for all these side deals and lawsuits. Please citizens of Albuquerque we need to do something.

He was paying hush money to those that lied, cheated, stole, distorted, left out, refused to answer and who were basically the people in charge of helping Marty Farty cover up extortion (try to, but were caught anyway) and corrupt politics.

This is the reason Marty Farty will not seek re-election in any other political office ever- The truth came out that he had to make side deals after he lost the election as a measure to (failed measure) to keep those that did illegal acts for Marty Farty from talking. Basically, Marty Farty was being blackmailed (in my opinion) by Ed Adams, etc.....

Anonymous said...

While Marty Farty was busy getting kick backs (in my opinion) and rambling on about a street car....
the downtown area was hit with business losses and foreclosures of property. For example, the Silver Moon Hotel closed down on Central which doesn't look great sitting next to downtown, Old Town and the historic Blue Hotel where film people go to stay. The area downtown has lots of "for lease," "for sale," signs...... The problem with the downtown arena is that like the ABQ Uptown the hub would be only centered around a few streets... ignorning all the side streets and avenues. Mervyn's closed down not long after ABQ Uptown was built. This year.... the downtown could stand a few bucks for aesthetic features such as, landscaping, sidewalk repairs and maybe improving the sidewalk appearance aesthetically with Mexican tile on certain side streets which would be appealing to tourists and make the streets look quiant.

Marty Farty ruined in four years the downtown area completely! Way too much money was shelled out on bus services when that money could have gone to making the downtown more aesthetically pleasing. The downtown (Barelas neighborhood) could have stood more improvements and more funding, not to mention the updates that will need to be done with regard to sewer systems (to prevent sink holes, etc)....

Let's just hope that the meager amount of money spent to update features such as bridges, road repairs, sidewalks, etc.... will be enough! Let's look at the pie chart of the quarter cent tax and give back to the street repair, sidewalks etc... from the section marked for bus transportation.

While way too much money was spent on the bus system... too little was spent on aesthetically outlining the downtown city for the tourist and the local business person to attract more business.

Money needs to be shelled out to help each downtown street and side street. The downtown is a total disaster..... just a mere 10% of what was shelled out on the bus system could have been used to salvage the business downtown by upgrading the asthetics of the area! I envision a boardwalk made of Mexican tile or wood built over the gray, ugly sidewalks downtown. I would rather money be spent on wild lavender, cactus, etc... to align the city downtown streets and help attract new business to the area, then any more on bus system that works just fine.

Thank you for the raise ed ,darren,and ray. We the officers have no respect for you and we are already contacting attorneys to sue. We will all be making $39.59 an hour. Sergeants and lieutenants more. Finally you did something that everyone is joining together and will act as one. By the way this is union busting and against the APOA CONTRACT. The game is over the fat lady is singing your swan song. I really feel sorry for the citizens that are going to have to pay for this. Berry get a clue FIRE THEM NOW.

Anonymous said...

Don't forget to check out how recent Ed Adams letter was drafted? The ink still is not dry on it! Perlman Hates Mayor Chavez, but likes ED Adams. Mayor Chavez was going to screw Adams and others, until Perlman came to the rescue.

I agree, don't trust Bob White on your legal issues against the previous Mayor. They're still very tight.

Tax Dollar said...

Let me guess all of APD is torn up and angry, and Darren is going around saying "I would be appalled if I was an Officer".....?

Meanwhile the Taxpayer is on the hook for millions, and millions of dollars in litigious payouts just in APD misdeeds alone from the Chief of Police (Schultz) all the way down to a(n) APD P1C.

Every Officer within APD could make a starting base pay of $70,000 if all of them just did their job without intimidation,coercion, threats, civil rights violations, and all the other crap that lands them in court only to lose millions of "OUR" money.

Trust me when I say this I (The Taxpayer) would much rather pay a Police Offficer/Firefighter a higher salary than a scumbag in a huge lawsuit payout, but this will never happen until you step back and take this motto to heart "People serving People" instead of the current one APD seems to have "Us v.s. Them"!

What does any of this have to do with the topic?

There is money out there to be earned and made if only "all" of APD could stop squandering the Taxpayers money. Every time a settlement, or Unit is wrecked, or you hit someone, or rough someone up, violate someones rights etc., etc. That is your next raise, your next PERA contribution, equipment purchase money, next academy funding, so forth and so on.

Eye, the pay of Mr. Torrez, and Mr. Arencon is pennies on the dollars compared to what's lost in bad management of personel, poor HR decisions, and poor leadership decisions.

God Bless AFD/APD, and Happy New Year to all!

For what the City is paying Ed Adams, the City could hire a contractor and get 4th street paved a pretty colored tile on the sidewalk! I envision that someday that the downtown will have quaint sidewalks made with multi-colored tile. A sidewalk with blue tile could have a tourist walk where the tourist can follow the blue tile to the Convention Center and Old Town and another color tile on the sidewalk to the Gallaria. It would be great to get a variety of colored tile for the downtown sidewalks with fun little signs posted to inform the tourist of what color sidewalk will lead you where sorta like, "follow the yellow brick road."

Well, Ed Adams needs to quit and go to the private sector. That salary that Ed Adams would be better spent on getting tile for the downtown sidewalks!

Hey! The sidewalks talk.... and the sidwalks say.....get rid of Ed Adams and let Ed Adams go find a job out in the private sector!

Lawrence Torres agreement violated the City Merit Ordinance and the APOA Contract. Both state that the APOA is the sole association to determine wages for Albuquerque Police Officers. If Berry does not reduce Torres pay (and future sick and vacation cashout), down to patrolmen levels he is opening up the door for every APD officer to sue to be compensated the same.

Lawrence Torres was APOA President. He knows this is true about the contract. He is once again trying to violate law and rules to pad his pockets. Shame on him. He is not and never will be considered an APD officer.

If Berry were smart he would immediatley reduce Torres pay down to P1/c. He would also fire Ed Adams for not doing the public good by signing off on this illegal agreement.

If this does not happen, hold on for the lawsuits from APD.

About 11 years ago, APD officers were being wronged. They band together and fought the administration and fought city hall and won. there were officers of all types protesting and fighting for the cause. where is the bortherhood now? we are being bent over like a whore in a whorehouse and you guys are just taking it. this is our money they are messing with. where is the passion, where is the determination, where is the drive?

Anonymous said...

I'm a retired APD officer and I'm really disgusted as a tax payer. I think the city should refuse to pay Torres $39 an hr for his vacation and sick cash out. Make Torres go to court for it. Otherwise I see a class action lawsuit from all other officers for $39 an hr cash out which will cost taxpayers millions. Practice becomes policy and $39 will be the new standard.......

11 years ago we had a
president that had a back bone and she did not care if she pissed off the mayor nor did she kiss ass, she sued when wronged and won, got us a 14% raise! Next we had a President that followed in her footsteps, and he had a spine and called it like it was, not compromising or getting any kind of sweet deals for himself-thank u CC and Alex, u knew how to represent us!

Lucy Sedillo has NEVER been a PERA employee. She has passed herself off as one, but a few years back PERA sent a letter to the city demanding that Lucy stop representing herself as a PERA Employee. She is only a contract employee hack of Marty Chavez. She never knew anything about PERA.

By the way, to Mayor Berry's credit, he ended Lucy's contract with the city. Now all city employees will get the good service that PERA provides, when it comes to their retirement. This one goes in the WIN column for Mayor Berry. I hope he ends more of these contracts.

APD leaders in their Union need to request an audit of the entire City Budget and the real reason behind the deficit of 24 million. Martin Chavez must have been borrowing on something or taking from some account because he had information and was spouting off about hiring more police when he was running the City! RJ Berry needs to uncover exactly how Marty planned to pay for all that he promised during his election campaign platform!!!! There is some fund, some account not yet audited that actually might be hidden in some document which people like Ed Adams (in my opinon)were payed to keep hush about because to do so would implement him, too!

Had Martin been engaging in some kind of borrow from Peter to pay Paul scheme with the City Budget. Was Martin going to misuse public funds to pay for campaign promises during his failed re-election bid?

Those are the kinds of questions that really qualified, neutral accountants need to be going over!

Speaking of PIO'S. When does APD plan on getting a professional looking and speaking PIO. The last one ya all hired really does a very poor job representing your organization. Just does not look or speak well! Surely, an organization as large as APD can find someone that would fit the job/position and look professional!

Just my 2 cents.

wow the year ends and the new year begins with business as usual in the City.
Yeppers kiddos, everyone with any power seems to (still) be related to someone else in the city govt..

I suspect that everyone who is retiring in the coming year will ask to have their "High 3" computed at $40 an hour, at least for their last two months of service.

And yes for those with long memories, about a decade ago a 14% raise was once granted, to a dept. that had 80% of it's employees in steps (at 4% a year) and those steps had been frozen for over two years and the cost of living in those two years had been at or above 3%. So going into a 3rd year without any raise the 14% equaled a bit less than what was allegedly "owed" to a vast majority of the dept.. And that raise was given as a direct result of pleading by the then chief.

Happy new year, nothing changes so remember - No Matter where you go, there you are.

Oh yeah, an audit needs to be done big time and on ALL city departments. I recall Berry's camp saying that the Berry had met with each & every dept. and spoke to the employees about what's going on. That, is a HUGE LIE! He had staff go to depts. They did not talk to the rank & file--just admin. & they fed him a huge bunch of bull crap.....he has no idea how corrupt every city dept. is. How come cultural services never puts positions out to bid, but instead hires temps. to fill the positions? That is against Union Contracts. Berry, do some HOMEWORK!!!

The reason he retied from that position and not from the field is that during several years of negotiations going the wrong way for APD, there was more than a "perception" that his officer safety could be compromised by angry 34s. This isn't conspiratorial or paranoia; we all have had a "traffic problem" when responding to another officer's call for 82. I think Torres was truly concerned even if he chose to take a dismissive stance. And for all of you non-cops who are fired-up enough to to say "I thought you guys were on the same team!" blah blah...we were. Until that Schultz man took the helm.
