EMPLOYEE PAY RAISES, CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, AND NO TAX HIKES ARE INCLUDES IN ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR R-J BERRY’S BUDGET PROPOSAL. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS IT’S A 524 MILLION DOLLAR PLAN THAT’S ROUGHLY 2-POINT-7 PERCENT HIGHER THAN THIS YEAR’S BUDGET.
IT WOULD PROVIDE 18 MILLION DOLLARS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION … AS WELL AS MONEY TO CREATE A “CLEAN TEAM” TO GET RID OF GRAFFITI AND AND RUNDOWN PROPERTIES. AS FOR THE RAISES FOR CITY WORKERS, THOSE WOULD HAVE TO BE WORKED OUT WITH CITY UNIONS, BUT WOULD RANGE FROM 1 PERCENT TO 2-POINT-25 PERCENT.
