THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL MONDAY IMPOSES NEW RULES ON THOSE WHO WANT TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT SESSION. CITIZENS NOW HAVE TO SIGN UP TO SPEAK BETWEEN 4:30 AND 5:30 PM … ONLY 30 PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO SPEAK DURING A GIVEN MEETING … AND THEY HAVE TWO MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL.
COUNCILORS ARE EXPECTED TO CONSIDER APPROVING FUNDS TO KEEP A LAWYER ON RETAINER AS THE DOJ SUGGESTS APD REFORMS. IT'LL ALSO CONSIDER FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY OUTREACH … AND COULD HEAR FROM THE FAMILY OF 38 YEAR OLD JAMES BOYD, THE HOMELESS CAMPER SHOT TO DEATH BY POLICE IN THE ALBUQUERQUE FOOTHILLS IN MARCH. THE COUNCIL COULD JUST GET A REVIEW OF THEIR SUGGESTIONS.
BOYD'S FAMILY ATTENDED SUNDAY NIGHT'S VIGIL IN THE FOOTHILLS WHERE BOYD WAS KILLED.
