Dantis Day

If you have any business with the county, you'd best either get it done before next Tuesday or plan on waiting until Wednesday. It seems the county is adding a day to go with the street that's already named for the retiring Deputy County Manager of Public Safety, John Dantis.

This Tuesday, July 27th will be John Dantis Day featuring not one but two parties to celebrate his retirement. All we need now is a proclamation from the governor or perhaps a declaration from the commission.

The first of the soirees starts promptly at 11:30 am and runs to 1:00 pm. Attendees are asked to bring 5 bucks and come in costume.  It's a potluck, but don't worry desert starts at 3:00 pm.

The second of the two soirees is a cake and punch celebration.  Ironically - and perhaps tellingly - this one will be held in the very chambers where the Bernalillo County Commission meets.

Look... John Dantis has undoubtedly has a number of friends that wish him well. However, these two little parties - some of which are clearly on taxpayer time - only serve to underscore the disparity between the powerful and the expendable.

When one's final act is a clear violation of policy and ethics, it's hard for the public to sit by and watch as his retirement is celebrated. Tuesday, July 27th will be Dantis Day - at least at the county. For the rest of us it will be a reminder of everything that's wrong with county leadership.

His name should be stricken from every place it is listed in the county. He is a corrupt piece of crap who's legacy is a disgrace. I thought the city was bad. The entire county government should be disbanded and one metropolitan government formed. That will reduce spending by at least 50% and get rid of 50% of the crooks in local government!!!!

It isn't just the county. Dave Campbell is sweeping his daughter's DWI arrest under the carpet with Darren's help. How much do you want to bet the arresting officer doesn't show up for that court date?

Will anyone in the media start asking questions about our newly nominated US Marshall and his military discharge?

He denied he went AWOL, but when asked to release his DD 214 he did not and therefore was not appointed Bernalillo County Sheriff.

Now Obama nominates this guy to be US Marshall!!!!

As a veteran I am outraged. If this guy has a Honorable Discharge then release the DD 214 and everything is fine. If he has anything less than Honorable he should not be US Marshall.

Is anyone in the media going to follow this up, or just give Obama, Bingamin and Udall a pass (as usual)?

Release Candelaria's DD 214 so the public will know the truth.

Don't worry Anon - the media will not check into this until after his nomination is approved, probably like a year later. And yes, they will continue to keep getting passes until they are voted out. If they are not voted out it will get worse. Most of the media has become as corrupt as our Chicago-thug style administration.

Wrong Campbell. Same name as his daughter and about the same age but it's a different chick with the DWI. This rumors been going around APD for awhile now. Doesn't check out.

how can the county allow employees to go to this on county time? this a slap in the face to those employees who do their job, and have not received a raise in 3 years. this clown gets busted and there is a big farewell party for him. people should wake up and demand that something be done to the county officials who are letting this happen.
let the county commissioners know of your displeasure over this. oh what am i thinking, they are part of the problem.

Is jamie dantis still wanted? maybe he will go to his daddys celebration and get arrested. Lil dantis uses his daddy's address and I would bet that he has been there and Dantis hid him out.

Why don't you write the whitehouse.gov and state your concern with him being appointed as US Marshall. The more the merrier!

Candelaria is a good pick for US Marshall. Get over his military departation already. Freakin grow up. He has done hundreds of good things in his career at APD and you look at the one spot or blemish. look at the plank in your own eye brother before attempting to take out the speck in his.

If you are a veteran, or you are the family member of a veteran, call Senator Udall (505 346 6791 or 202 224 6621) and Senator Bingamin (505 346 6601 or 202 224 5521) and demand that the current nominee for New Mexico US Marshall release his DD 214 so we can all know if his discharge is Honorable.

Veterans have sacrificed too much for this country for this issue to be ignored. If have an honorable discharge then be proud of it and show it.

One of Dantis' follwers sent out an email County wide, asking for a money donation to buy him a parting gift. I sent a doorknob in lieu of cash...... I'm sure he'll figure out what to with it.

Good bye you piece of crap.

I would venture to say you are not a veteran. Release the DD 214. This is a big deal. This happened back in 2005, when the country was at war! If he has a bad discharge, it is a disgrace to nominate him.

If he has a bad discharge and he is appointed, he will be held to a lower standard than the Deputy US Marshalls who work under him! This is wrong.

The public deserves the truth and he should make public his DD 214.

Let the public decide!

Why has no one mentioned Candelaria tearing up a parking ticket for Marty's wife? He could have been charged with interfering w/ official gov't paperwork. It's been used to charge officers, why not administrators? Because they're butt buddies with Marty. Tearing up a ticket isn't the biggest deal, EXCEPT when it is another officer's ticket, and ever admin officer is pompous about how they are so righteous and upright, and the officers damned well better walk the straight and narrow. Yet they hide all of their errors! If you can't trust Candelaria in small matters, how can you trust him in large matters?

the DD form 214 is public record. A copy is sent to state where the member told the gov't where his home of record is. Several copies of the DD form 214 is generated once one seperates/retires/gets the boot. Copies go off to the miltiary personnel record archives with your personnel record, also a copy is inserted in with your medical records that go to the VA, and then one goes to you for your own records. I know because I did some admin work in the sep/ret section while awaiting training for about 6mths when I first came in - i was in charge of mailing all the records out once the DD form 214s were completed after the member sep/retires.

believe me, candelaria is the least of apd's problems, or anyone problems. barboa is a problem.
liars are problems. cheaters are problems. all you mind game players are problems. candelaria is a breath of fresh air. really. he hasn't done anything half as bad or unethical as most of apd. they lie for each other, especially on reports. so really trust me, when i say candelaria is really not the problem.

Tearing up a ticket isn't all that Candelaria tore up on M Chavez, everyone knows that

damn! i am actually surprised by the lack of ethics with apd.
i shouldn't be. i already know about the liars and cheaters and so do you, but now that i know more, i am shocked. i wish i could say what it is, if i did, i would be revealed. oh well. trust in faith is broken in apd. really really broken. these guys do what they want. no ethics! i am in shock. there are good hard working cops out there and i am thankful for each and everyone, just wish they had something like ethics and honesty to hang off that utility belt. cuz it sure in the hell isn't in thier hearts. thanks for all you do, apd. i mean that, thank you. i wish you guys could keep it clean.and honest. guess that is too much to ask though, your job is hard enough without having to follow all the rules. even the unwritten ones. makes me sad. really really really sad.

I hope Carlos fights and gets to go back to his original assignment and things go back to normal in violent crimes. Please Carlos do the right thing.

I suppose the motorcycle ad was preferable to the one made saying, "John is tattooing a footprint on his behind."

Good riddance to a useless political animal. That tar and feathers were not involved remains a question?
