THE BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY APPROVES A 7-MILLION DOLLAR BOND PACKAGE TO PAY FOR A NEW SANDIA PEAK ROLLER COASTER AND RESTAURANT. THE PLANNED ROLLER COASTER WOULD SLIP DOWN THROUGH THE FOREST IN THE SANDIAS … THEN BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN.
TAXPAYERS WILL NOT BE ON THE HOOK TO PAY FOR THE BOND PACKAGE. BUT AN AMENDMENT PROPOSED BY COMMISSIONER DEBBIE O’MALLEY TO REQUIRE LOCAL CONTRACTORS AND RESIDENTS TO BE HIRED FOR THE PROJECT WAS REJECTED.
