Right, they..."Leaders" in Albuquerque? Right, they'll be found just like new economic opportunities. Like lower crime. Like honest politicians Like integrity in city hall. Like objectivity in that paper. Please. It's all a joke.

Both Albuquerque and NM need leaders, regardless of political affiliation, that have the ability to crisis manage, since we are in a state of crisis. They should lead with strong values of integrity, justice and truth. Both ABQ and NM are pathetically lacking in these areas, which is why we are rated at the bottom of every bad statistic. Our reputation precedes us. Who would want to do business with or live in an environment like that? I suggest only those of the same cloth, which is what we have today. You are the company you keep and we continue to attract those of that cloth and spiral downward because of it. <br /><br />The first action of a real leader would then be to send out a letter to all employees letting them know the expectations in values of integrity, justice and truth so they could start to change the MO in each of their employees’ daily decisions that they make throughout the day. I suggest it would be a culture shock, but that may be exactly what this city and state need. <br /><br />This state of affairs the citizens have to live with is the worst I have ever seen in my life. The values are deplorable. And the leaders of values, the religious organizations, have been utterly silent, making sure not to offend any of their donors. Pathetic!<br /><br />No matter what age, no matter what sex, no matter what ethnicity, no matter what party you belong to, if you have values, consider running. I’d support and vote for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-39382522673450258062014-04-04T09:48:20.314-06:002014-04-04T09:48:20.314-06:00Your got it right with respect to Rob Perry and hi...Your got it right with respect to Rob Perry and his $35,000 raise. Berry submitted his budget on April 1. The City Council can now go in an slash Perry's raise as well as all the other 10% to 15% raises given to the Department heads and not fund the salary increases in the Mayor's Officer Budget. Also included would be the $25,000 increase in salary being given to Gordon Eden. But this would take courage from the Democrat majority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-28939067432338975752014-04-04T09:09:46.555-06:002014-04-04T09:09:46.555-06:00I have supported both Gary and his father many tim...I have supported both Gary and his father many times over the years. But will not support Gary further. He sure was all over the horse slaughter plant plan from the get go. I think that was politically motivated. He should have been the first to question the extreme number of police killings in Albuquerque. I have not been impressed by Gary as attorney general. His time, if ever there was one, has passed. I am still up in the air as to whom to go for in the governors race. I will wait and see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
