This is the link to my Albuquerque Journal Guest column published TWO years ago on August 28, 2014 and entitled “Mayor Fails to Address Real World Problems” https://www.abqjournal.com/…/mayor-fails-to-address-real-wo…. I post this now because Mayor Berry appeared recently before his buddies at the Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce to talk about his $60,000 study on why Albuquerque has such high crime rates and what he intends to about them. This is the first time in seven years of being in office I can recall Berry has acknowledged Albuquerque has a crime problem, but he again blames everyone else and tries to say things are not that bad under his watch compared to THIRTY years ago! What I said three years ago during the campaign still holds true today, but things have only gotten worse with increased crime rates, APD and our economy.
