ALBUQUERQUE'S BOARD OF ETHICS WILL HOLD A PRELIMINARY HEARING OVER A COMPLAINT FILED BY PETE DINELLI'S MAYORAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST INCUMBENT RICHARD BERRY. BUT THE BOARD HAS YET OT SET A DATE FOR THE HEARING. DINELLI'S CAMPAIGN ACCUSES BERRY OF VIOLATING THE CITY'S BAN ON TAKING DONATIONS FROM CITY CONTRACTORS. BERRY TOOK ABOUT 17-THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM EXECUTIVES OR OWNERS OF COMPANIES THAT HAVE CITY CONTRACTS. BUT HIS CAMPAIGN SAYS HE'S IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH CAMPAIGN LAWS.
DINELLI'S CAMPAIGN TOOK ABOUT 200 DOLLARS IN SIMILAR DONATIONS, WHICH HE LATER GAVE TO A CHARITY.
