Esquivel's outrage disingenuous at best

KRQE offers a follow up piece the story about a high school wrestler getting away with murder and politician who helped him do it; County Commissioner Art De La Cruz, link.

KRQE, because of personal and professional ties with APS School Board President Marty Esquivel, they allow him regular opportunities to keep his face in front of voters, who he hopes will one day propel him into the Attorney General's Office.  Their story features Esquivel and his outrage over the Commissioner's conduct unbecoming.

Marty Esquivel is the senior-most of the most senior role models of student standards of conduct in the entire Albuquerque Public Schools.  He expects students to "model and promote the Pillars of Character Counts!; a nationally recognized, accepted and respected code of ethical conduct.

He is a role model whether he likes it or not; whether he accepts it or not.

Yet he, and the rest of the most senior role models of student standards of conduct have utterly abandoned their responsibilities as role models, link.

Would be voters will be mightily impressed with Esquivel's righteous outrage over De La Cruz' outrageous failure as a public servant.

Would be voters won't hear about Esquivel's outrageous failure as a role model of the standards of conduct he establishes and has enforced upon students, because like I said,
Esquivel has personal and professional ties with KRQE.

... and the Journal, and KOAT, and KOB.
