Want to know why New Mexico is last in everything ?  The answer to that question is right in front of your face Mr./Mrs. Nobody.  Politicians, our Secretary Of State is in jail and our Governor Martinez should be facing criminal charges.  Really Mr./Mrs.nobody , you can't make this stuff up.  As reported on all local media and national media as well our Governor Susanna Martinez embarrassed the entire State Of New Mexico at a out of control Christmas Party at a hotel in Santa Fe.

According to news reports  the party was loud and beer bottles were being thrown from a hotel balcony (in APD lingo it was a 39-2).  Police were called but that is when our Governor takes over and calls Police Dispatch and demands to know who called the Police and demanding the Police be called off. When Police Dispatch stated they could not do that our Governor argues with the Dispatcher and tells her yes you can it's public record.

Well guess what Governor it is not public record and you as a former District Attorney know that very well. The Governor keeps on arguing with Dispatch saying there were no beer bottles thrown it was snowballs.  We at the EYE didn't see any snow in the media video of the hotel. Did they really go downstairs, scrape it up off of the few snowbanks, and then bring it upstairs?

Why would adults throw anything off a hotel balcony ?  Our Governor then confronts the hotel front desk. Our Governor states she was not intoxicated and was having pizza in the hotel room with her elderly mother. Well that's a true politician for you.  True politicians will always say they  are going to take care of the children and the elderly. REALLY GOVERNOR ?  

We at the EYE by the sound of The Governors voice to dispatch really sounded intoxicated.  All Police we have spoken to agree that The Governor sounds inebriated.  Further proof would be that when you become intoxicated your judgement is the first thing to be effected, is it not Governor ?  So what if one of us nobody's had done what the Governor has done ? What criminal charges could you be facing ? 

Here is a short list: INTIMIDATION OF A WITNESS, INTERFERING IN A POLICE INVESTIGATION, AND 911 ABUSE.

We all know that nothing will happen to the Governor. There will be no investigation, there will be no criminal charges, everyone involved is to busy C.Y.A.. If it was one of us nobody's you would be booked, jailed, and waiting to be seen by a judge.

P.S.  Where are all of her defenders? You  know, people like Darren White and Adam Feldman who post and tweet endless accolades whenever Susana reads a book on goats to kids?  Funny that they disappear when the going gets tough.....But we know that's what Darren does... don't we Darren?

6% Raise and 100% Failure

A.P.D. officers are going to receive a 6% raise plus $5000.00 . Sounds good or does it ?  If you listen to Mayor Berry he will tell you that Police Officers have gotten 12%  in raises during, his time in office.  That is a lie but we expect lies from the Mayor.  In fact as reported by The Albuquerque Free Press during Berry's first term he froze Police pay and then made them take a 2.4%  pay cut in violation of the Police Contract. 

Do the math, Officers you are not getting 6%  AND YOU ARE OWED MUCH MORE THAN $5000.00! 

We at the EYE ask what about Officers that have left The Department are they going to be made whole?  We at the EYE believe they should.  We also ask about the remainder of The City, you know the faceless people that make this City run.  Where is their raise ?  They too were forced to take a pay cut.  We at the EYE believe that number was 3%.  So if you put your life in danger every day and your love ones fear you may not come home this is what liar Berry thinks your worth.  However if you sit behind a desk like the top brass and  they steal the rank and file money.

If you are part of The Berry Administration responsible for running This City into the ground you have it real good. As reported in The Albuquerque Free Press raises as follows: chief administrative officer 23.9%  raise, police chief 16.5 % ,CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 14.9%, planning director14.1%, parks and recreation director 14.1%, animal welfare director 14.1% , human resources director 13.2% , municipal development director 13.1 % , city attorney12.3%, economic development director 10.4%, ALL MAKING WELL OVER 100,000.00 a year and people like Perry making $188,198.00 a year. 

We at the Eye know what you are saying, we have to take it, it's all we will ever get. SAD.

Hero

To hear Mayor Berry or Chief Eden spew their politics out of their mouth, they will tell you how much they care for their Officers and how they are HEROES.

Really Mayor, really Chief?

You steal the Officers money and give it to your top administration.  You make your Officers work without a contract. You have your Officers working under the most dangerous conditions without enough Officers to supply back up to their fellow Officers. Now  have a very strong rumor that one of your majors was involved in an unauthorized vehicle chase and it is being covered up. 

Do you really wonder why the Officers have no respect for each of you ?  You cover up any situation that may not let you look good in the media.  You always use the same old excuse. We can not comment because it is still under investigation.

We recently saw how in Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel fired the Police Chief Garry McCarthy for not releasing a video of a Police Officer shooting a young man sixteen times a year ago. Was the Chief a scapegoat?   We at the EYE think that is in some ways the case. Emanuel was up for reelection when the incident happened.  The Chief however should of done the right thing. Now lets look at home. Officer Jacob Grant was shot by his lieutenant Greg Brachle eight times during an undercover drug bust nearly a year ago.  The Department wont release any information saying the case is under investigation. Does this look similar to Chicago ?  The only thing that came out of the brain trusts at The City is The City Attorney saying it is partly Officer Grant's fault.  WHAT !!!?

Officer Grant has to sue the City to make them do right by him and his family. This is always the City's game plan.....make them sue. Drive the Officer into more debt and know a lawsuit will take years.  Well it will take years for an Officer, but if you are a criminal The City will settle as soon as they start to cry.  Officer Grant perhaps if you were shot eight more times the City may do the right thing.  We take care of our returning Military and we should. Why do we not take care of our first responders? 

Mayor Berry, Chief Eden keep your lying mouth shut.  Officer Webster lost his life protecting us. Everyone is asking where was his backup?  Our EYES inside the department tell us that when an Officer calls in a license plate that a Dispatcher sees is stolen that Dispatcher sends that Officer backup. So where was Officer Webster backup?  The City plays the same old excuse. Officers please remember your training. Your most important job is to go home at the end of your watch.  We at the Eye know you will continue to run in the direction of the gun shots, because that is who you are. Sadly, this administration and its "leaders" will use your bodies to shield themselves from the bullets of politics.
