Albuquerque Local Pulse: Bus Safety, Water Investment, and Weekend Sports
Published 2 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, February 21. We kick off with breaking news from our streets: Albuquerque police arrested 76-year-old Tom Jimenez yesterday after he allegedly shot BB guns at least 15 city buses near Central Avenue and Coors Boulevard, causing about 80,000 dollars in damage since October. No one got hurt, but riders like Michelle Trujillo worried about kids and families on board. Transit leaders thank APDs license plate readers for cracking the case, and we hope it keeps our buses safe and rolling.
Shifting to city hall updates, Senator Martin Heinrich pushed hard for his Buffalo Tract Protection Act in a Senate hearing, aiming to withdraw minerals from four small parcels north of us in Placitas to protect the land. Water investments shine bright too, with the state budget allocating 11.5 million dollars to map aquifers and 10 million for river restorations, helping our farmers and Rio Grande flows amid shortages.
Jobs look promising with Amgen posting openings for patient access liaisons in our area, offering solid benefits and bonuses in rare disease care. Real estate stays steady, with median home prices around 320,000 dollars, drawing buyers to neighborhoods near the University of New Mexico.
Sports heat up today at The Pit, where our Lobos host Air Force womens basketball at 1 p.m. and New Mexico womens tennis faces Northern Arizonas Lumberjacks at 11 a.m. both streamed live. Local schools report strong showings, like Albuquerque Highs recent debate team win at regionals.
New business buzz includes FERC greenlighting Blackstone Infrastructures buyout of TXNM Energy, promising stable power for our grid. Weather-wise, sunny skies with highs near 55 degrees make it perfect for outdoor walks along the Bosque trail, though a chilly breeze picks up tonight, outlook clear into Sunday.
Looking ahead, catch the Maunualua Bay-style community cleanup inspired event tomorrow at the Rio Grande Nature Center. And for a feel-good lift, wildlife groups celebrate new reforms to our State Wildlife Commission, cutting politics to protect hunting traditions for all.
