BERNALILLO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY RAUL TORREZ SAYS HE NEEDS A BIGGER PIECE OF THE BUDGET PIE THANKS TO THE FACT THAT THE COUNTY ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT HALF THE CRIME IN NEW MEXICO. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS LOCAL PROSECUTORS SAY THEY’RE WORKING WITH 27 PERCENT OF STATE MONEY TO FIGHT CRIME IN BERNALILLO COUNTY.
D-A TORREZ SAYS THE 27 PERCENT OF THE BUDGET THAT THE COUNTY GETS DOESN’T MATCH THE PROBLEM THAT EXISTS HERE, SO WOULD LIKE THE AMOUNT INCREASED.
