ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCILORS WON'T CONSIDER PROPOSED REFORMS TO THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OVERSIGHT COMMISSION UNTIL MID-AUGUST. THAT DECISION MADE DURING MONDAY NIGHT'S SPECIAL MEETING … WHICH WAS RESCHEDULED FROM LAST MONDAY AFTER APD PROTESTERS STAGED A SIT-IN AT MAYOR BERRY'S OFFICE.
ANOTHER DELAY DECIDED ON BY THE COUNCIL MONDAY NIGHT CONCERNS A PROPOSED TAX HIKE TO PAY FOR PROGRAMS FOR THE HOMELESS AND MENTALLY ILL. ONE ISSUE DECIDED BY COUNCILORS ALLOWS ONLY 30 PEOPLE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS DURING MEETINGS.
THE MEETING RAN PRETTY SMOOTHLY MONDAY … WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A MAN REMOVED BY SECURITY GUARDS FOR BRINGING AN AMERICAN FLAG WITH HIM … WHICH IS AGAINST THE RULES.
