Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, January 17.
We start with breaking news from City Hall, where Councilor Nichole Rogers is pushing hard for stronger rental protections after yesterday's deferral of her ordinance. Nearly half our households rent, and she's highlighting hidden fees up to five times the state limit of fifty dollars, like that two hundred fifty dollar application charge bouncing between city and state offices with no enforcement. State Senator Heather Berghmans and Rep Cristina Parajon backed her at a press conference near Civic Plaza, saying itll cap fees, demand upfront disclosure, and give our Consumer Protection team real teeth, with a vote set for January twenty-first. This could stabilize families from Central Avenue to the North Valley.
On crime, we have a sensitive arrest early this morning KOATs own Julian Paras, the award-winning reporter and weekend anchor, charged with DWI near Coors and I-Forty. APD handled it swiftly, reminding us to drive safe on these winter roads. In better public safety news, federal funding just cleared Congress over a million dollars for our Real Time Crime Center tech on First Street, plus forensic upgrades for APD and the Sheriffs Office, and new patrol vehiclesexpect more eyes and faster responses metro-wide.
Our Lobos hit the road tonight for one last dance at Viejas Arena against undefeated-in-conference San Diego State at six PM Mountain. With coach Eric Olens San Diego roots and our fifteen-and-three squad gunning for a statement win, Pit fans, tune inits the end of a Mountain West era.
Weather-wise, chilly thirty-five degrees now with light flurries near the Sandias, but clearing to sunny highs near forty-fiveperfect for weekend errands, though bundle up for evening games. Outlook stays dry through Monday.
Jobs look steady, with that federal COPS cash helping hire about two hundred fifty officers statewide, boosting local patrols. Real estate? Median home prices hover around three hundred seventy thousand, but renters, that ordinance could ease your search.
Quick school nod: UNM Lobos womens hoops crushed opponents midweek. New business? Watch for eviction prevention surveys from Winter Torres group, tracking fee abuses at complexes off Louisiana.
Feel-good moment: ACLUs Rethinking Public Safety town hall Thursday packed the South Valley with advocates uniting against harmful bills, proving our communitys voice shapes real change.
Upcoming: Council meeting Tuesday, Lobos home February twenty-eighth.
