The problem here is corruption versus honesty. Corruption has been rampant in Albuquerque and New Mexico for years. No bid contracts, nepotism in granting of contracts, district court judges corrupted, and state regulatory boards corrupted. Only the people, all the people, can change the hole that this city and state are in. Sweep the corruption out with your votes, but you MUST VOTE! Don't let NE Albuquerque rule the entire city, by staying home from the polls, that is exactly what is happening. The corruption here is so ingrained in our culture that we know of no other way to exist. We are indeed a sad city and state. But, it is rather pleasant being at the bottom in all national rankings, we don't have to worry about some state coming up from behind us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-37684706555073202812014-11-15T07:21:32.042-07:002014-11-15T07:21:32.042-07:003:28,

Talk about a sense of entitlement, arrogance and looking out for only yourself. Might as well force every single cop to negotiate their own contracts by hiring their own lawyers and let John Martinez, Berry and Perry walk all over you and get rid of PERA contributions, all your benefits and force cops to represent themselves.<br /><br />Republican State Representative Paul Pacheco, who likes say his last name is pronounced PAAACHEEECO so that people will think he is anglo, is a former cop and past president of the APOA. This is one hypocrite I wonder will be voting for a "right to work law" during the next legislative session to help get rid of APOA and police unions in general.

Now that the Reublicans control the NM House of Representaives, they are now talking about enacting a "right work law" again lying that it will make New Mexico more competitive and attract new industry and jobs. The same argument was made in enacting the reduction in Corporate Tax rates two years ago and nothing has happend in attracting new industry and the Albuquerque and New Mexico economies have only gotten worse. There are 751,000 total workers in New Mexico of which only 46,000 are unions members according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many union members in Albuquerque and the State are government employees: police officers, firefighters, teachers, city bus drivers, city solid waste drivers, ect. The primary purpose of enacting a right to work law in New Mexico is to destroy all the Government Unions like AFSME which is exactly what RJ Berry wants and has done for the past 5 years. Watch Berry and Perry move quickly to get rid of all City Unions and City Union Contracts negotiated in good faith once a right to work law passes in New Mexico. But all you rank and file cops who voted Republican, and for that matter who supported Paul Heh, will still have the EYE to post your nasty, self righteous comments.

Heh got on the ballot but did not qualify for public financing saying it was too difficult to get 3,000 people to donate $5.00 to his campaign, yet Dinelli got 5,000, $5.00 contributions and qualified for City financing. Paul Heh actually fits right into Berry's world as one of those old, white, vanilla conservative Republicans but he is still angry that he was totally ingnored during the campaign and went from 9% in the polls to start and to finish with 3% or about 2,000 votes.

It would appear, at first glance, that David Harris, the executive vice-president does.<br />Usurpation of power by Harris started back when Gov. Richardson was in office and he, by design, took control of UNM by appointing regents who followed his commands to include the disastrous hiring of cronies that included Mr. Caldera as president, Harris as second in command and another D.C. friend, Billy Sparks, as head of public relations at the UNM Hospital.<br />The hefty compensation package ($950,000/year) Mr. Craig Neal (Noodles) just received was actually negotiated in secrecy by the athletic director, Mr. Krebs, and Harris with the blessing of Mr. Fortner, president of the board of regents. President Frank simply signed off on the agreement after it was a “done deal.”<br />Mr. Harris controls the purse strings at UNM and more. It is difficult to understand how he concluded UNM’s operating budget had that kind of money laying around when so many other needs go unmet.<br />The lottery grant program, for one, is in financial trouble and could benefit from these extra dollars that went to Noodles. I’m hopeful Noodles will now be able to afford a haircut.<br />Now, what about President Frank? Is he the president or not? And, is Mr. Fortner stepping over the line between setting policy and implementing it? Something is out of sync.<br />The award made to Noodles and the manner in which it was done leads me to conclude that UNM is a rudderless ship, the same dilemma NMSU went through when inept regents hired Mrs. Couture as president only to pay her $650,000 to leave six months later.<br />In conclusion, I emphatically say, again, that no coach is worth more than a professor or a needy student.<br />Do your job Mr. Frank and, above all, fulfill your commitment to transparency. Mr. Krebs and Mr. Harris are not paid huge tax dollar salaries to do what you are getting paid to do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-85967177560173019622014-11-11T22:56:41.953-07:002014-11-11T22:56:41.953-07:00The make up of the board isn't Berry's doi...The make up of the board isn't Berry's doing instead it is Davie Harris' doing.<br />http://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/news/2014/11/07/city-unm-must-expand-innovate-abq-board-or-lose-2.html?page=all<br />Bill Ricardson got David Harris the job at UNM and as a result UNM has suffered several years with the sh*t that Richardson sent to UNM.
