When one considers that two of the politically appointed commissioners are, at least up until very recently, managers of the C&TS operating company, that hired, employed and directed Mr. Campos; and another commissioner is the former mayor of Chama, I doubt that the commission will be able to conduct an unbiased review or audit of the C&TS business and finances during Mr. Campos tenure. There is also the fact that the operating company is totally owned by the commission itself. There is too much of a conflict of interest here for us to expect a fair, complete and honest audit and review of the railroad’s finances and business.
Any audit or review should be conducted by an outside, independent, unbiased and non political entity. Otherwise, there will be the inevitable cries of the appearance of impropriety and not being above board.
