Nothing worse than a Bad Berry

Once again, we are finding out who RJ Berry's true supporters are. A few weeks ago Paul Kennedy had a fundraiser at his law firm. Now the Branch Law Firm is putting on a show for Berry. This one is Tuesday night at from 5:30-7:00pm off of Rio Grande N.W. 

Funny, the cost per plate has been cut in half from $500/plate to $250/plate. Thanks to our many Eyes, perhaps we'll get to see what one gets for $250? Or maybe we'll see who comes out to this week's festivities like last time.

Does anybody need further proof this is a mayor that fails to lead? And that the people who most desire him to stay in place are those that make money from him?  You see, it is a co-dependency. They need Berry in office to give them free money and business they would not otherwise get and Berry needs their money to bankroll his campaign.
For a mayor whose city is in shambles, whose public safety departments are in crisis, who is the target of numerous federal investigations, he sure enjoys high end dinners. Especially at Scalo's.

Oddly enough, when it comes to personal one-on-one dialogue, RJ Berry and his handler Tito Madrid, can't run away fast enough. Perhaps that's why Berry was a track & field athlete, because he likes to run away. Like run away from real public dialogue. Like run away from addressing honest controversy. Like run away from responsibility.

Enjoy your meal Mr. Mayor. And for those that contribute to keeping RJ Berry as mayor, know that you are voting with your money to keep an administration in place that has blood on its hands.

RECIPE FOR DESPICABLE

 While the soon to be departed Mayor of Albuquerque, RJ Berry, is going around collecting money for his campaign from out of city voters, a recent article caught our Eye.

 

We know the list is almost endless as to what's gone wrong since Berry became mayor, but it's worth repeating: we've lost more jobs (3,900) proportionally than any other city in the country, we have fewer people employed now than when Berry took office in December 2009, APD is under DOJ investigation, the person responsible for APD's demise is being allowed to walk away with a fat 90% of gross income pension, real estate prices have yet to recover to their pre-2009 prices, crime rate is higher than ever before, more people are leaving Albuquerque than moving in, cover up after cover up plagues the city in gross disparity compared to other cities, APD's issues continue to bewilder even the most honest fan--low staffing, increased expenses, bottomless morale, and expensive hi-price toys being run by people with little or no law enforcement experience, and the list goes on.

 

With the city in such a disastrous state, why would anybody want to invest money here? Obviously they wouldn't. And in fact that little bit of information was buried in yesterday's Albuquerque Journal. You see venture capital is at an all-time low and has continued it's slide into non-existence since, you guessed it, Berry's election. (READ IT HERE)  Folks, you can't make this stuff up.  These are facts and all have verifiable sources to prove these facts.

What is venture capital? In basic terms it's simply money private people or investment groups invest in private companies to get them off the ground. It's a reflection of the optimism in a given economy. People invest their money with the expectation of a return and here in Albuquerque, it seems there is NO HOPE for a return thanks to the policies of RJ Berry. No seed money, no growth. It's that simple.

 

And while we have Berry to thank for implementing his failed policies, we have the cast of official and unofficial advisers surrounding him. It is much as their advise as Berry's implementation that have brought this city to it's knees. So a vote for Berry is a vote for the despicable.
