Corporate Albuquerque

If it is really true that Mayor Martin Chavez told the National Office and Industrial Parks audience yesterday that he wanted them to vote for 'corporate minded' city councillors, then I feel he has lost sight of who his real constituents are. Does the Mayor and Council serve corporate America or do they serve the people of Albuquerque?

When the Mayor was thinking of "corporate minded" councillors he probably wasn't thinking of this gentleman. He is Isaac Benton and he is running against one of Chavez's handpicked candidates, who happens to be a former employee of the Mayor's Office.

Isaac is a long time architect in Albuquerque and a small business man. He has been active with his neighborhood and believes in investing in the city's core. I think he is going to make a great city councilman and I am going to support him as much as possible. I will even send him a contribution.
