THE SICK LEAVE ORDINANCE IN ALBUQUERQUE MAY NOT BE HISTORY YET. IT CAME DOWN TO THE WIRE IN TUESDAY’S ELECTION IN ALBUQUERQUE WITH OPPONENTS RACKING UP MORE VOTES THAN SUPPORTERS TI DEFEAT THE MEASURE … BUT BARELY. GERGES SCOTT WITH THE ALBUQUERQUE COALITION FOR A HEALTHY ECONOMY, A GROUP OPPOSED TO THE ORDINANCE, TELLS US HE KNOWS THE SICK LEAVE ISSUE COULD GET ANOTHER HEARING.
SCOTT SAYS THEY KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE CLOSE FOR THE MEASURE, EVEN THOUGH, AT ONE TIME, THE SICK LEAVE ORDINANCE HAD A LEAD IN THE POLLS.
