THE COST IS ADDING UP … AND NOW THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A BILL THAT DIRECTS AUDITORS TO REVIEW JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MONITOR JAMES GINGER … WHO OVERSEES APD REFORMS. IT’S TURNED INTO A PUBLIC BATTLE BETWEEN THE CITY AND GINGER. COUNCILORS MONDAY NIGHT VOTED 5 TO 3 IN FAVOR OF THE RESOLUTION.
AND THE MEASURE COMES JUST ONE WEEK AFTER A FEDERAL JUDGE REJECTED ALLEGATIONS THE CITY MADE THAT GINGER IS BIASED. THE THREE COUNCILORS VOTING AGAINST THAT WERE ISAAC BENTON, KLARISSA PENA, AND DIANE GIBSON, WHO SAYS THE RESOLUTION LOOKS LIKE SOUR GRAPES.
