Former National Center for the Employment of the Disabled President Bob Jones was arrested today, along with former NCED employees Ernesto “Ernie” Lopez and Patrick Woods. Woods was an NCED board member. Newspaper Tree is also covering the story.
With that, it’s time to update the corruption link chart. It’s below. I suppose that, based on this incomplete chart, one could say this gets closer to El Paso Mayor John “John” Cook, but that’s a faulty assumption. Links don’t necessarily mean links, if you know what I mean. So far as anyone knows, Cook’s only secret indictment is about his singing and his appearance of being kind of a willing tool. But looks usually deceive when considering politicians of greater or lesser means, talent and motivation (see Joe Wardy).
It’s almost like there are two prosecutorial lines of attack right now. There is NCED, and there are the outliers around the County apparatchiks.
Finally, in these nervous election times, with scandalous election fliers arriving in the mailbox like letters to Harry Potter down the fireplace, one notes that Dee Margo finds a place on the chart (not linked to anything) while Joe “traceofdoubt” Moody is confined to apparently slagging off military members. Can’t remember who can’t remember where he lives, but in the end, whether tainted by corruption or not, both Moody and Margo are tained by being nincompoops of the general sort.
Both of them make shady El Paso roofing contractors look like candidates for sainthood.
