And let’s be clear about that, because
the questions were specific in confirming Albuquerque is in a fiscal and
institutional mess.
Having come from prevailing in the
preliminary ethics complaint hearing against incumbent Berry (notice once
again, little if any media coverage concerning that juicy tidbit), candidate
Dinelli was quick and deliberate in his answers showing his confidence is well
deserved in handling questions tossed his way.
Candidate Heh's approach was, while
just as informed but less formal. This isn't surprising because he is not a
politician. Heh is a veteran of the armed services and veteran police
sergeant. He engaged the audience and reminded folks he is not a politician.
Incumbent Berry's approach was, well,
bizarre. When asked about Chief Schultz and APD, Berry remarked he was "proud
of Ray Schultz." That drew a collective gasp from the audience. When asked
the same questions as the others, Berry provided answers to things not asked. In
other words, he avoided the questions and remained noncommittal on the
important topics covered. Interestingly, incumbent Berry hid amongst his handler Tito and stayed away from Mr. Heh and Mr.
Dinelli. Berry acted like a scared child
out on the playground. There was no
threat to Berry other than being thrown out of office; besides Berry has plain
clothed officers in the audience to “protect him.” What a coward…
On Saturday, there was another
candidate forum at Albuquerque's Center for Peace and Justice. While Mr.
Dinelli and Mr. Heh were there to a packed hall taking questions from folks on
the other end of the political spectrum than the folks at the NMBC, once again
the two challengers stood out in their commitment to engage voters while Berry
once again...hid.
Our Eyes tell us there is friction
between the McCleskey special people known as Darren White and Susan Martinez
and Berry's people. It seems, tossing Darren to the curb during his fiasco has
left a bitter taste in certain people's mouths and Berry may be on the outside
of the circle that put him in place as the mayor. But we'll see.
In the meantime, little attack dogs have arrived and are pestering candidate Heh on his Twitter page: www.twitter.com/pauljheh. There is some very funny and woefully uninformed banter going on there. Some are accusing Mr. Heh of being a hardcore liberal, while others are accusing him of using fake Twitter accounts to defend himself. One of Berry’s main attack dogs name is “politix…” this little lady is so backwards, she can’t even spell the word “politics" correctly.
If anybody knows anything about Paul
Heh, it's that he goes to the fight himself and puts his name on the ticket.
Whether it's at city council about misconduct by Darren White, the APOA about
misconduct by then-president Joey Sigala, or ineptitude and corruption by Mayor
Berry and Chief Schultz, we at the Eye have never seen Mr. Heh not personally
and directly confront issues.
This will prove to be a monumental week
for the city of Albuquerque and APD. Our Eyes are flooding us with emails about
some major changes that have happened and will be happening....stay tuned.

Is there a video link or report detailing exact questions and answers for this forum? If so please post so we can see for ourselves how the candidates responded.
Fuck it, it's all gonna come out anyways. Olivas was the snitch on those SE bike cops and may others. Is that one of this week's stories Eye?
Spoke to Heh and dinelli and two different occasions. The both said berry will not debate them. WTF !!
HOW CAN HE NOT?
Suggestion; Candidates get your organizations acts together and have them schedule debates. Invite the media. HE CANNOT ACT LIKE A SISSY AND NOT COME OUT AND PLAY.
He must stop hiding like a little girl and stand up to the heat and take the questions and debate these two gentleman.
That was a joke. Bla, Bla Bla.
Heh was the only one who had an original thought ion his head.
Heh did kick ass in that debate.
Heard the North Valley library had alarms but they were disabled. Who decided to disconnect the fire and break in alarms? They wete not operational prior to that library burning. Mayor Berry is this another way to save money. How many other libraries have had their alarm systems disconnected?
Berry won't debate them because Berry does what he wants, he's a coward, Mr Berry I wish you could suffer hunger and not be able to pay your bills, maybe then you might be a good Mayor
