ALBUQUERQUE VOTERS MAY HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE BEFORE THEY CAN MAKE DECISIONS ON THREE PROPOSALS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL. THE BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSION ON MONDAY VOTED TO PUT TWO NON-BINDING QUESTIONS ON THE BALLOT DEALING WITH MARIJUANA AS WELL AS FUNDING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
CITY COUNCILOR DAN LEWIS IS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE COMMISSION'S DECISION. HE SAYS THE CITY IS NOW FACED WITH A SPECIAL ELECTION WHICH PROBABLY WON'T BE HELD SINCE IT WOULD COST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.
COMMISSIONER DEBBIE O'MALLEY SAYS THE CITY'S ISSUES COULD BE PLACED ON THE APS BALLOT IN FEBRUARY OR ON THE ONE FOR THE NEXT MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN 2015.
