EMBARGO: KAUFMAN'S WEST LLC

We here at the Eye have no tolerance for individuals who abuse political connections, bully others, and provide cover for the corrupt through their backroom dealings, and cowardly, off the record, telephone "call a friend" favor call ins. You have read many accounts of the usual suspects who have stuck it to the citizens, and employees of Albuquerque, and this state, and they can all be linked to one another by one degree. The sniping from the shadows is going to end.

Raymond D. Schultz is having a good time fooling the folks in the community of Memorial Villages Texas into thinking he is a great guy, after he destroyed this place with the help of his coward friends. As we have seen with many ranking members here, the rules change when you are under criminal or grand jury investigation, because they do not get put on leave or terminated. As a matter of fact, people like Ray Schultz's friend JD Sanders can actually get hired as a police chief in another state, while there is action pending regarding his certification after resigning over an internal affairs investigation into misconduct, concerning him with the Hobbs NM PD. This is no coincidence, because Ray's BFF Nate Korn was the vice chair of the board at the time, and Director Jack Jones was present, and advocating for JD Sanders who was not present. We would like to ask our LE readers just how would your absence at your own LE board hearing be handled? Would the director have advocated for you as be did for Sanders? Would they just get to say that there were lots of allegations, but nothing happened? No, not even close, unless you are connected to these cowards. Many media outlets have ignored the little details above, but we here will not. A chief resigns from his position, an LEA90 is filed, and nobody asks questions when he rendezvous with another chief, who fled his last place of employment TOO. Does the saying "you scratch mine, I'll scratch yours" sound familiar? IPRA NMLEAB CASE #12-089. Who should you ask? Oopsie! That's right, Jones is gone, and so is Korn. Seems all of these people are skedaddling, now that things are coming to light. But they aren't worried about the Corvino case, are they?

SCHULTZ... PROBABLY IMPARTING NO BID, PAY TO PLAY CONTRACT WISDOM, ABOUT HOW TO GET VESTS, AND MAKE MONEY ON THE BACK END, RIGHT NEXT TO THE REFRIDGERATOR HE GETS HIS DONUTS AND MARSHMALLOWS FROM.

You can read it all here, starting on page 109. This should enrage anyone who has had to deal with the disparity in case handling up there in Santa Fe, especially those who have had action taken against their certifications, after signing agreements with municipalities agreeing to no action in lieu of resignation.

We here at the Eye ask why is Ray Schultz not on administrative leave? Look at him!

Where is the investigation into the Taser no bid, kickback contract at?

If those that fled get to smile and profit, then those still here should not get the same benefit.

There has been a lot of talk about departments directing their staff to Kaufman's West LLC for their equipment. Why? Why direct people to a place where their prices are high? Why direct anyone to a business owned by an individual who condones corruption, by openly praising former employee Raymond D. Schultz as some kind of "E.F. Hutton," when all he is is a coward who used people, destroyed the place, then moved on when the heat came down on him; a snowflake. Enough of acting like something did not happen. Ray Schultz is a liar, who has perjured himself in numerous cases, while under oath, and he was allowed to do this by people in oversight positions, who dare to take the high ground, and act as if they were cleaning the place up, when THEY were, and are the problem. They did this. As the rats jump ship, the rat feeders should be sent packing with them. WE HERE AT THE EYE ARE CALLING FOR AN EMBARGO OF ALL BUSINESS WITH KAUFMAN'S WEST LLC. There are better places to do business with better prices. Try the below listed vendors. They are nice people that get shut out by a corrupt administration. Do not give money to a business that has profited from the likes of Ray Schultz, and is owned by a person who has obviously pushed cases in the favor of violating employee rights, politically bullied decisions in the desired direction of his buddy's choosing, and disallowed the simple right to free speech at public hearings. You do not get to destroy places and lives and walk away. Hillary Schultz should not get a free pass. Indict him.

WE HERE AT THE EYE SAY DON'T RUN RATS! JUST TURN YOURSELVES IN TO THE FEDS. THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU. THEY ARE AS SICK OF THIS MESS AS WE ARE.

We suggest anyone looking for quality emergency services equipment give the below people a try. It is about time the favoritism ends.
