Investigation Demanded

We would like to recognize retired Senior Sergeant Paul Heh for walking the talk when it comes to demanding action and accountability. Sergeant Heh recently hand delivered this letter to the New Mexico Attorney General's office and sent copies to the other agencies requesting that there be an investigation into the Tasergate matter involving former APD chief Raymond Schultz.

If you have nothing to hide, the Mr. Schultz should welcome this as an opportunity to show that all was on the up and up when he negotiated the Taser-cam contract. But like we know from the explosive testimony in the Torres trial, very little is on the up and up when Mr. Schultz has had his fingers in the mix. The following are important questions that need to be asked regarding this $1.9 Million contract:

1. When did Mr. Schultz first start talking with Taser about it?
2. What did CAO Rob Perry know about this contract and when did he know it?
3. What position does Mayor Berry hold on the matter?
4. Should all city employees be allowed to personally benefit from their interaction with city merchants, vendors, and contractors?


Thank you Sergeant Heh.

During Sunday's debate Heh told Berry that Schultz was still a city employee and was only on vacation.  Berry stated that Schultz was NO LONGER a city employee...Well, Berry lied AGAIN and here is solid proof... Who is going to Vote for a big liar like Berry?

Schultz Not Retired

 

ALBUQUERQUE—During last weekend’s KOAT-7/Albuquerque Journal mayoral debate, much of the time was spent talking about public safety and the economy. During one heated exchange between incumbent RJ Berry and candidate Paul Heh, Mr. Heh asserted that former APD Chief Ray Schultz had not retired from the city.

 

Over the last few months there have been numerous reports indicating Ray Schultz had not only retired from employment with the city, but received a $100,000 cash distribution from unused sick and vacation leave and was paid $10,000 for a month-long consulting contract. A few of those stories are:

Mr. Heh stated that “Ray Schultz has not retired and is still on the city’s payroll and I have the documents to prove it.” When asked about his statement, Mr. Heh added, “Ray Schultz not did not cash out like RJ says he has, and he isn’t even on any consulting contract. He’s just drawing his pay as if he’s on vacation. His paperwork says his retirement is effective January 1, 2014. And until then he still receives his city medical benefits and his monthly pay of about $10,000.”

 

When asked about the disparity between what incumbent Berry said, Mr. Heh offered, “It’s well past being spin, it’s outright lies. RJ knows Schultz is a liability but they don’t really want to let him go, so they’ve let him go on ‘vacation’ until after the election. There is not consulting contract, there is no retirement, and there is no cashout.” When asked what would motivate incumbent Berry to keep Schultz, Mr. Heh speculated, “I can only guess it’s something truly terrifying to RJ. I have no doubt Schultz will suddenly come back if Berry isn’t defeated. I’m sure he’ll be public safety director since it seems he isn’t really going to leave here even though he’s said he’s going to leave and I’m told his wife has already left.”

 

Attached to this statement is a copy of city employee Ray Schultz’s notification of retirement form which confirms the statements made by Mr. Heh.

 

Does your mayoral candidate really care about you?

Here is a challenge:

 The choice will become crystal clear...
