UNM Lawyers and Albuquerque City Councillors look silly. This debate over selling beer and wine to the rich people in their fancy new suites at the Pit turned into government at its worse. The councillors look especially bad in denying the licenses since the city has one for Isotopes Park just across the street. UNM lawyers look bad saying the city should butt out since this is state land and they have no say. I believe that EXPO New Mexico has a license so why deny one to UNM? That is like jamming a stick into a hornets nest of over ego'ed city pols. UNM has been notorious for never working with other community leaders on their decision making, so maybe they deserve this. I remember when I was Mayor of Albuquerque the UNM administration and Regents seldom cooperated on any number of planning and land use issues.
I guess I don't really care what happens except to say I don't know why only the suite owners get a beer. It should be everyone or no one like at Isotopes Park.
