The Piercing Truth

This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

An Early Holiday Turkey

City employees who plan on buying the holiday turkey this weekend may have to wait. Our Eyes tell us that due to a computer "glitch" downtown almost half of the city's works have not been paid.

City of Albuquerque employees are on a bi-weekly pay system and today their checks didn't arrive as scheduled. The city's "glitch" could cause more than just an inconvenience for those who planned to pick up their holiday feast this weekend because many city employees (just like the general population) live paycheck to paycheck. When their checks don't arrive on time then their bills don't get paid on time. We all know what that means - late fees.

Let's see how fast the city gets this "glitch" fixed. After all, if it lasts too long The Almighty Mayor might have to suspend his shakedown of city employees; a particular problem when trying to raise money for his senate campaign. Not to mention that nothing makes the natives more restless than not getting paid on-time. Who knows, we might see even more of the 11th floor's dirty laundry hung out on certain lovable websites.

How about that $5.8M that's just sitting in the General Fund, from the red light program.
Re-name it the rainy day fund now.

Yes you can....I would advise you to stop payment on your personal check & tell your mortgage company that a check from the city will be arriving in the mail soon....

Again, in the corporate world people would be going to prison.
Is there anyone in the prosecuting world willing to step in and intervene here? Or,is everyone in this state related in some incest way.

Going to prison for not giving employee's their paycheck early and paying them on their regular payday? Hummmm, what's wrong with this picture?

Payday is friday, the only reason they started the thursday thing was as a benefit to the direct deposit people. I remember when i was one of the few who took advantage of the direct deposit thing now everyone is forced to get direct deposit. Dont complain too much cause payday is still on friday, OFFICIALLY! so i guess everyone whined for nothing bout the pay thing.

Yup, they've got their asses covered on this on, payday being Friday. And yes in the big scheme of things, we as humas are all related "in some incestuous way", not just in this state.
