The Journal is interested only in protecting those they support and control. They want to run government agencies without having to hassle with the election process. The message is clear if you don't do as they dictate, they will make you their hobby. They can because they buy ink by the barrel. Look around and you can easily tell who they own. Berry and Perry get a walk in every instance. Their names weren't even mentioned in the Chief Schultz scandal. And they are so smug, they don't think the public is bright enough to see what is going on. I support the elected officials the Journal is critical of because I know they must be independent and doing what they think is right, not what the Journal tells them to do. The Journal is part of the corruption in this city. They need to go with Berry, Perry and the SPD chain of command.

It's called theft.<br /><br />Even conservative Slate magazine puts it that in Canada there are price controls on drugs, so US Big Pharma makes up for the lower profits they collect there by charging us more. It's still theft. It's so-called free market Capitalism.<br /><br />Remember when the US government put men on the moon? Won World War II? Cured polio? There's no basis for the lie that innovation won't happen unless Capitalists are allowed to steal from us and cause many people to die because they can't afford to get medicine.<br /><br /><br />Note how in McKinney, Texas, a 14 year old girl was abused by a cop one dsay, the next days protesters from around the country were there, with TV crews right behind them, and the next day the cop "resigned."<br /><br />The powers that be in McKinney are trying to make it go away fast. Typically in cases like this the cop soon resurfaces somewhere else -- recall that the New Mexico state cop who emptied his pistol on that van full of kids and was fired was recently hired by a sheriff's department up there. But that doesn't lessen the fact that we the people have the power to affect any kind of change we so desire so long as we don't just hand our power over to some politicians and go home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-84482882928798323932015-06-09T14:51:13.977-06:002015-06-09T14:51:13.977-06:00It is true the ABCWUA runs the sewer plant.

Perry also called the Alb. Free Press an "underground newspaper". Bad managers should also be dealt with swiftly especially when they are costing the City millions in police misconduct cases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-79557330155020649452015-06-09T12:52:12.595-06:002015-06-09T12:52:12.595-06:00To bad some of APD's administration wasn't...To bad some of APD's administration wasn't included in the Rio Grande dump.
