Bernalillo County

Let me read the story.

Bernalillo County commissioners yesterday voted against an appeal that would pause the development of the mosque, and, uh, so yeah.

And this was, uh, you know, the commissioners voted four to one, man, to deny the appeal.

Now, what this means is the project is moving ahead.

Pearson told police his wife had disappeared six weeks earlier from their trailer home.

He had filed a missing persons report in neighboring Bernalillo County.

Pearson had filed a report on March the 2nd stating that his wife and him had gotten into an argument, and about 2:00 in the morning she took off and walk, was walking...

Last time he seen her, he says she was heading south on the tracks behind the trailer court.

I think what's interesting though is, y- you know, you don't wanna get blo- Like, you'll...

A Republican's not gonna win Bernalillo County.

We know this, okay?

Right.

... 'cause you can kind of mitigate some of your losses by having a, a, a s- a shorter spread there, right? So you don't lose by as many points, and you can make that up with some of the other regions.

So your goal there, if he's in single digits in Albuquerque metro area, I, I love that.

If he's in single digits in Bernalillo County, I'm thrilled.

Oh, no question.

I really enjoyed that.

And currently, I am assisting with the Republican Party of Bernalillo County.

Both Robert and I serve on the executive committee.

All right, and we are going to be talking about some policies that you have been working on relating to New Mexico at large, but through the Bernalillo County Republican Party, and specifically you're both on the executive committee of the party.

And before we get to talking policy, which of course we love to do here at Tipping Point New Mexico, since you are involved kind of in the day-to-day with the Republican Party, locally, and that means you're involved statewide, which means that you're involved in one of the more controversial and often dysfunctional organizations in the state of New Mexico, at least outside of government.

So if one of you or both of you could give a brief elevator pitch on what the latest is with the Republican Party of New Mexico and how that pertains to anything you're involved with at the county level.

But let me weigh in on the local party.

Okay.

$352 million for higher education, which, of course, vastly dwarves the other two bond questions.

Then running through the county, which, of course, if this is something you're watching or listening to outside of Bernalillo County, Well, there are bonds, I'm sure, on your ballot as well.

But here in Bernalillo County, $2.5 million for libraries, $9 million for county buildings and vehicles, $20.3 million for recreational facilities, including aquatic centers.

Should have been Brooke Besson's, Councilor Brooke Besson's aquatic center.

She could have got the money through that process.

The average person out here, especially if you're not a college graduate, isn't getting a whole lot of benefit from using their tax dollars to help the higher education system, which is extremely bloated and has numerous problems.

unnecessary branch campuses.

Now, in terms of Bernalillo County, 20.3 million for recreational facilities and aquatic centers.

But that's not what the data shows.

The point in time count that the Coalition to End Homelessness in New Mexico issued not long ago showed that roughly just under 60% of the people that were included in that count outside of Bernalillo County were from New Mexico, and of the remaining 40%, about two-thirds of them were housed when they arrived here and became homeless after they got here.

So if you do the math on that, it's about 85% of people who are experiencing homelessness right now are local folks.

Right.

And so I thought it was really – you know, it warmed my heart a little bit.

They put up, like, roadblocks and, like – No, it was just more of the, like, you know, if you – mask mandate is the example in the Bernalillo County and stretch up to Santa Fe.

That whole area was hardcore mask or die.

Right.

PCA is untouchable with his new magic pants, so Bregman was the only other choice for sabotage.

Now, I know one's parents don't always influence our politics, but Bregman's father, Sam Bregman, is the current Bernalillo County District Attorney and the former chair of the New Mexico Democratic Party.

I don't know what Alex Bregman's politics are, but he's perhaps less likely to be a right-wing goon than many other MLB players, and this might have made him a more ideal candidate for the Bush foul ball.

Shaw has done his part this season by spending almost as time on the injured list as the active roster.

He was done.

So deputies with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office had to come rescue him.

The pictures are absolutely incredible.

Atlas looks like a guy who just worked a double.
