skandera pt7 (forecast: HB 392 veto)

forecast: governor will veto HB 392 ...

3 questions remain: how will it be announced that "the decisions of the secretary [designate] are final" ... that the New Mexico Connections Charter Academy is in ... and that Hanna Skandera (Secretary-designate) don't need no Senate (confirmation)?

... i saw only one story covering the judge's ruling, and even that came out a week after the fact ...
... i have seen dozens of stories about the confirmation hearings over a two week period of time  ...
... it was the cover up ...
... minimize the maximum ... and maximize the minimum ...
... the media is in on it ... the legislature and governor too ...
... they are all in on it.

mar 16 HB 392 passed senate
mar 1-16 confirmation theater (judge's mar 1 ruling more important)
mar 1 judge ruled (Secretary of Education is above PEC) [Answer: 22-8B-7]
mar 1 confirmation theater began

Skandera pt 4 (HB 392)
feb 23, 2013

... according to PED, Hanna Skandera (Secretary-designate) don't need no Senate (confirmation) and don't need no public education commission neither.

... HB 392 challenges that view.

... however ... current law 22-8B-7 [B] states ...

"If the secretary finds that the chartering authority acted arbitrarily or capriciously, rendered a decision not supported by substantial evidence or did not act in accordance with law, the secretary may reverse the decision of the chartering authority and order the approval of the charter with or without conditions.  The decision of the secretary shall be final."

... to me, it looks like all on-line schools are coming ... so are ppps ... the laws are there to allow it ... and yet, it is ILLEGAL...
