The League of Women Voters of Albuquerque/
Bernalillo County is a nonpartisan organization that
provides information about political issues and
candidates for public office in order to promote
greater citizen responsibility and participation in
government. Because the League is nonpartisan, it
DOES NOT support or oppose any political party or
candidate. It does publish and distribute factual
information for citizens to use when preparing to vote.
The information in this Voters’ Guide was obtained
by means of questionnaires sent to all candidates.
Their answers are printed exactly as received by the
League. Because of space restrictions, candidates
are limited to a specific number of words. Also, lists
are converted to paragraphs and responses are
converted to normal text. Certified write-in candidates
will have only their names listed. All candidates are
listed in the order they will appear on the October 4,
2005 ballot.
Disclaimer
The information in this Voters’ Guide has been
carefully assembled and compiled to assure
maximum accuracy. However, the LWV/ABC and the
LWV/ABC Education Fund assume no responsibility
either for correctness of all the information furnished
to the League by candidates or other organizations
or for errors or omissions. In instances where there
is a question of potentially defamatory content, the
League will defer to the opinion of counsel.

Why are you running for the office of
Mayor and how do you see yourself
making a difference? (75 words)
The city has access to a limited amount
of money for services, facilities and
equipment. What criteria would you use
to prioritize the budgeting of money for
existing and future needs? (75 words)
Albuquerque has enacted legislation to
guide growth in the city, including
impact fees on new development and the
Planned Growth Strategy. How would
you implement these measures? (75
words)
There are three ballot propositions to be
decided by the voters in this election: a
charter amendment for public financing of
campaigns for elections, a resolution to
require photo identification before voting,
and a proposal to enact a living wage
ordinance. What is your position on each
of these ballot questions? (75 words)
I was raised in the downtown neighborhood of Barelas, where I live
today. I love Albuquerque and I will
always stand with average Albuquerqueans. That’s why I have
stood up for the living wage and for
a balanced approach to public
safety, including treatment and prevention programs. As mayor, I will
also fight to ensure that growth
works for our communities and to
make our schools places where kids
can and will succeed.
The needs of ordinary Albuquerqueans will always be my top
priority. Families deserve walkable
communities where their kids can
play safely; workers need efficient,
accessible transportation to get
them to their jobs; and we all need
smart planning to keep our roads
free of congestion and to preserve
the uniqueness of our neighborhoods. This is our city; we need
invest wisely in our basic needs now
in order to keep Albuquerque strong
in the future.
As one of the sponsors of the
Planned Growth Strategy, I will fully
implement the plan and impact fees.
Further, I am committed to
expanding impact fees to include
schools. Developers must pay their
fair share. We need to provide
homebuyers with more than just four
walls. They deserve communities
with schools, parks, roads and jobs.
Planned growth -- in which all stakeholders participate -- is the key to
our city’s future.
I sponsored this public financing
measure because it will level the
playing field and allow qualified candidates of diverse backgrounds to
seek office. I strongly support the
minimum wage increase. It is the
best way to fight crime and poverty
and enhance our economy. I
oppose this voter ID proposal
because it fails to treat voters
equally by creating one set of rules
for Election Day voters and another
set for absentee voters.
I love my hometown of Albuquerque. We are a City of great history
and even greater potential. I have
the experience and ability to get
things done and move Albuquerque
forward. Crime continues to decline
but we can do better by growing our
police department to 1,100 officers.
Better transportation planning,
continued economic expansion and
a stronger relationship with our educational system are imperative. I will
continue to articulate a long term
vision for Albuquerque.
Public safety must always be the
first priority. I intend to expand APD
to 1,100 officers. Public safety also
includes solving crime before it
occurs so an expanded relationship
with APS and the continued creation
of constructive alternatives for kids
is essential. Finally, expenditures
that help create a good business
infrastructure that creates high
paying jobs while preserving our
great environment will allow our
children to stay in their hometown if
they so choose.
The Planned Growth Strategy originated in the Mayor’s office during
my first term. Implementation must
be in the Executive Branch working
closely with the Legislative Branch.
Impact fees are important and I
strongly support them. As passed by
the Council, however, there are
numerous inequities. For example,
the proposed Walmart on Wyoming
and Menaul will not require any fees
when there will clearly be adverse
impacts. Retooling rather than eradicating should resolve the problem.
Public Financing – I supported our
previous spending/contribution caps
all the way to the U.S. Supreme
Court to keep the big money out of
politics. I support public financing
but not the current proposal as
drafted. Photo Identification – I
worked closely with the sponsor to
place it on the ballot and will vote
for it. Living Wage Ordinance – I
strongly support an increase in the
federal minimum wage. I oppose
doing it at the municipal . . .
I am a former teacher and principal
running for Mayor to restore honesty
and trust to City Hall. I am a registered Republican, but was unanimously elected Council President by
Democrats and Republicans alike. I
will bring people together to hold the
line on taxes, focus spending on
basic services, and pass sweeping
ethics reforms to clean up City Hall.
Tax dollars should be focused on
providing basic services, like public
safety. Mayor Chavez is increasing
spending at 4 times the rate of
inflation and wasting millions on
pork projects like a multi-million
dollar city birthday party. My
Taxpayer Protection Plan will limit
government spending growth to no
more than inflation plus population
growth. Under my plan, we will cut
waste to better fund basic services,
while protecting taxpayers from
unnecessary tax increases.
I would implement PGS with the
following priorities in mind: Properly
plan for growth to limit sprawl and
ensure new homeowners have
access to good roads and infrastructure. Westside families deserve
better roads and schools. I support
four-laning Montano and extending
Paseo del Norte. I strongly support
a new high school for the Westside.
Developers should pay their fairshare. Schools should be exempted
from paying impact fees.
Public financing: Do Not Support –
Taxpayers should not be forced into
funding campaigns of politicians
they don’t support. Photo Voter ID:
Do Support – I have always been a
supporter of photo voter ID. I voted
to put this year’s initiative on the
ballot. Living Wage Ordinance: Do
Not Support – It will create an
un-level playing field and drive jobs
to places like Los Lunas or Rio
Rancho. It is not the role of local
politicians . . .
I am running for Mayor because I
know I can make a difference! I
have extensive experience in
managing successful programs; I
have a strong respect for fiscal management and accountability; and I
have a history of providing a cooperative working environment, which
is truly needed in our current city
government. As I have no aspirations of higher office, I will commit
all my energy in executing the
duties of the Mayor of Albuquerque.
Basic city services and existing
infrastructure must be the first
priority of funding. Priority of effort
seems to have shifted from “taking
care of what we have” to “trying to
get what we think we want”. Priority
of effort must be in existing neighborhoods before new ones. If we
can’t take care of what we do have,
how can we take care of what we
will have?
The city falls short in the implementation of the PGS, because it lacks
a fair and equitable method of
implementation. I would encourage
the Council to revisit the “Strategy”,
and promote a “Comprehensive
Greater Metropolitan Master Plan”,
with citywide input, and consolidate
all planning elements under one
master planning coordinator, with a
written master plan for implementation. All city funding resources will
be considered in the Master Plan,
instead of just Impact Fees.
a. I support public financing of
election campaigns under a
"matching funds" concept, with a
stipulated limit of matching funds. b.
I support a resolution to require
photo identification before voting.
Voting is the basic principle of a free
society, and must be exercised
under the highest standards. c.
Minimum wage should be determined and adjusted regionally (from
a federal baseline), to provide the
required wages needed to reduce
the need of governmental supplemental services.

Why are you running for the office of City
Councilor and how do you see yourself
guide growth in the city, including impact
fees on new development and the Planned
Growth Strategy. How would you
implement these measures? (75 words)
I am running for re-election to
continue the progress that I started
during my first term. I’ve led the
effort on long-neglected projects like
the Coors/I-40 interchange and the
Tower/Unser regional park, but
much remains to be done. My
knowledge of the issues and my
independence from the Mayor and
Council factions makes me an
effective councilor. This allows me
to make decisions based solely on
how the issues impact my constituents.
Our first budget priority must be to
provide and improve basic services
like public safety, infrastructure and
a sustainable water system for all
citizens. The West Side is still
behind other parts of the city in
adequate infrastructure. I will
continue to make increased funding
for streets and parks my top budget
priority. We must also invest in
projects that enhance our quality of
life and our economy, such as the
West Mesa Aquatic Center.
As a co-sponsor of the Planned
Growth Strategy and advocate of
impact fees, I will continue to work
to ensure that we do not deviate
appreciably from this fair and
equitable system. I helped craft the
strategy to implement the PGS and
impact fees, which is essentially in
place and will provide for smart and
sustainable growth while at the
same time create funding for infrastructure like roads and parks, especially on the West Side.
In this era of costly elections, public
financing allows more people of
moderate means to run for office
and prevents special interests from
controlling our elections. Photo identification will not solve voter fraud. In
this time of dwindling voter participation, we should be making voting
more accessible. A living wage will
ease pressure on public assistance
programs and at the same time
provide low-income wage earners
with more spending power, thus
helping our economy.
I have lived on Albuquerque’s
Westside over forty-years and
operate an accounting firm on West
Central, I understand the people
and the issues in my community.
While serving eight years on the
Bernalillo County Commission, I
demonstrated respect and the value
of public service with proven leadership. I had a perfect record of
attending every meeting and being
accessible by holding office hours in
the district and being responsive to
peoples concerns and needs.
We must utilize and prioritize city
resources where most needed. It is
vital to keep our neighborhoods safe
with outstanding police protection. It is
critical to have fire and rescue protection in rapidly developing communities. The fastest growing area in
Albuquerque is the Westside and
Southwest Mesa where the needs are
great. We must assure a safe road
network, promote multi model transportation and support street bonds.
We must also utilize resources
promoting water conservation.
We must work pro-actively implementing the Planned Growth Strategy. It is
crucial to strive and stay current with
rehabilitation infrastructures; provide
new home owners with adequate
streets, parks and schools and build
village centers where people can
work, shop and play. New neighborhoods must be contiguous to existing
neighborhoods. I am troubled over the
higher cost of impact fees for new
homes on Albuquerque’s Westside.
We must work on keeping home
prices affordable and equitable.
I support campaign reform but not
using tax dollars to pay for public
campaign financing. Taxpayer
dollars are better spent on public
services. After the 2000 election,
Americans question the integrity of
the election process. I support
various forms of showing ID before
voting to protect the system. Every
American deserves to be paid a
livable wage. Congress must rise to
the challenge and pass legislation
that will pay wages where people
can live in . . .

Albuquerque is at a critical turning
point. Our rapid growth is far
outpacing our ability to do long-range
planning for transportation, public
transit and delivery of City services.
Rapidly rising energy costs and competition for precious water means that
we must begin now to make Albuquerque a sustainable city. My experience
as a certified environmental architect
and planner specializing in public facilities and affordable housing will contribute to our awareness and
understanding of these . . .
My highest budget priorities will be:
Enhancing the great qualities of our
older center city neighborhoods; facilitating mixed-income residential infill;
improving and redeveloping underused
and blighted zones along older commercial corridors; supporting locally-based
businesses that provide jobs, serve the
neighborhoods and keep dollars circulating in our community; energy efficiency
and sustainability; water conservation;
walkable and bikeable streets; public
transportation; providing activities and
helping create jobs for young people.
I support Planned Growth Strategy
and impact fees. Developers of large
tracts on the City’s edges must participate in the large public investments
required to service and support their
projects. Taxpayers have been subsidizing their profits, which often do not
stay in the community. I am
concerned about the compromise to
phase-in impact fees. Some in development community showed bad faith
by lobbying the State Legislature to
take away Albuquerque’s right to plan
its . . .
I support public financing of
elections. I oppose the photo ID
requirement for voting because it
does not include absentee voting,
where the potential for voter fraud is
highest. I strongly support the Living
Wage initiative. We must pay people
a decent wage if we want to reduce
our social costs and crime. We can
pay now or pay later. A dignified
minimum wage makes for strong
families and a stronger community.
I am the only candidate born and
raised in District 3 with a life long
commitment of action that benefits
the community. I have a proven
history of neighborhood advocacy
and organizing that has resulted in
affordable housing development,
and economic opportunities in
District 3. I am the only person
running who has actually run a
community development organization. I can connect the dots for the
benefit of the district.
To set priorities, I would give most
weight to the input and results of the
community planning processes that
have had broad-based community
input. I believe that the budget
should reflect a democratic process
and reflect the will of the people as
to how their tax dollars are spent.
My role would be to increase the
communities’ capacity to participate
in the budget making process.
The most critical issues facing the
community are growth and sprawl,
health care, poverty, employment,
education and environmental factors
such as water. I will encourage the
city planning department to move
forward with implementation of the
PGS and review, on a regular basis,
the progress of impact fee collection
process. The implementation of
these two pieces of legislation is
outlined in the enacting legislation.
I support public financing but am
concerned about the proposal
requiring candidates to collect $5
from a percentage of voters to qualify.
This could potentially eliminate less
affluent candidates that may not have
the resources necessary to collect
required donations. Our voter participation is already shamefully low so I
have concerns about creating additional barriers to the voting process. I
support a living wage that allows
working families a path out of poverty.

I want to complete work I began
providing adequate transportation
options to west side residents
including new and expanded roads,
mass transit and bicycle routes. I
have the experience and the vision
to insure that the west side gets its
fair share of city resources and that
it grows with respect for existing
neighborhoods, property values and
quality of life. I will work to preserve
open spaces that make the west
side special.
Taxpayer funds should go first to
basic services including police and
fire protection, corrections, solid
waste, parks and recreation, etc.
Once these are funded adequately,
the City can fund quality of life
measures. I oppose efforts to
expand the size and cost of City
bureaucracy. I sponsored and
passed legislation to subject the
City’s social service contracts to a
competitive bidding process to
ensure that funds are not wasted on
duplicative or ineffective programs.
I sponsored the Planned Growth
Strategy. We should establish mixed
use zoning and provide incentives
for jobs on the west side so people
can work closer to home. Ensure
that roads, parks, schools and open
space keep pace with rapid growth.
Create incentives for infill development, relieving overcrowded schools
and roads. Focus capital spending
on maintaining roads, water and
sewers in existing neighborhoods.
Allow impact fees to pay for growth
related roads and parks.
I support public financing of
campaigns. Special interest groups,
including developers, have too much
influence in city government due to
their campaign contributions. The
City will save money by having
elected officials who are not
beholden to special interest dollars. I
support photo voter identification. It
must be fair and fairly enforced. I
don’t believe cities have the authority
under state law to set minimum
wages. The federal government
should raise the minimum wage.
I want to change things at city hall
and for the west side. I can make a
difference by being responsible yet
responsive while representing our
issues.
As with any decision, you first look
at the resources, financial as well as
the manpower. You also analyze
what needs to be done immediately
and then long range (or have a
plan). Then you prioritize that plan.
You have to have a complete
picture before making decisions.
The PGS has already begun being
implemented. I support planned
growth, I do not support no growth.
The current structure in place is
inequitable to the West Side. Not
only to the residents that are there,
but for any businesses or commercial building that will be going in on
the West Side. I think the PGS and
the impact fee legislation need to be
relooked at and reworked. A
regional approach would make
better sense.
I do not support public financing for
campaigns for elections. If photo id
is going to be required for voting, it
should be required for all voting.
Those in person, early voting,
absentee voting, etc. The living
wage ordinance should be handled
on a federal level. Patch quilting
living wages through varies cities
and towns is not what I believe
works. Specifically to the West Side,
with the implementation of impact
fees, housing in Rio . . .

I’m running because I have 20 years
of experience in working with this
City government to plan, protect,
preserve, revitalize and redesign
many parts of our community. I’ve
often been asked to run, and now I
can give much more of my time and
energy to the job. The Council will
benefit from my facilitation skills and
perspective as a neighborhood
advocate, designer/builder, citizen
advisor on planning & transportation, and business owner.
I want to rein in money going under
the radar for “pet projects” in City
Hall and cut the costs of fuel/energy
with smart energy choices.. I’d look
to the feds, state and county for
matching funds, grants or facilities
sharing, and to public/private partnerships. Our tax base would
increase with higher-value development in the City. My spending priorities must be public safety, basic
services, and maintaining facilities
we have first.
Our plans, zoning and building regulations must be brought in synch with the
Planned Growth Strategy to guide and
facilitate the appropriate infill and redevelopment intended in the PGS. Our
older commercial areas are being redeveloped under suburban standards that
aggravate traffic problems, make
busses inefficient and walking
downright dangerous while pushing
smaller businesses to marginal
locations. I’d start with overlaying my
district’s Centers and Corridors with a
community-derived redevelopment plan.
I support the public financing of
campaigns of local elections.
Running for Council can cost more
than 5 times the annual salary! This
photo ID resolution is costly, doesn’t
stop absentee fraud, and will discourage voting due to the “hassle
factor.” I don’t support this resolution. I support the minimum wage
increase as overdue---we have a
relatively high cost of living that’s
constantly rising and hard work
simply deserves fair pay.
As an Albuquerque native, I have
seen the city grow in size and prosperity. However, I have also seen
the government grow and become
more intrusive, more wasteful and
less responsive. I believe that I can
make a difference by using my skills
in communication to strengthen
neighborhoods and volunteer organizations in order to bring the people
back into the process.
Government’s first responsibility is
public safety. A safe environment is
the foundation upon which our
society is built. Without a safe environment in which to build our homes
and businesses our economy fails
and our people leave. Our budget
priorities need to reflect this philosophy. The first budget priority is
public safety; the second, infrastructure; and the third, amenities.
PGS and impact fees need to be
revisited. PGS as implemented is
designed to promote infill development without regard to the increased
infrastructure pressures and market
forces using the logic that to reduce
sprawl we must increase density.
Density leads to higher housing
costs, higher crime and gridlock.
Impact fees, like any tax, should be
spread over the widest possible area
at the lowest possible rate and most
importantly, be predictable.
Public financing of elections is a bad
idea. There is no purer form of
democracy than supporting a
candidate with one’s own money.
Every attempt to remove money
from politics has either restricted
speech or increased the money
spent. Photo voter ID is imperative
to maintain the integrity of the
election process. A $7.50 “living
wage” will result in fewer jobs, fewer
opportunities and fewer businesses,
hurting those it’s supposed to help.
Sally
MAYER

GLENN
Public safety must continue to be
our #1 priority with tougher laws for
DWI and sexual predators. I will
continue to maintain a balanced
budget while focusing on basic
services. Continue my efforts to
ensure stronger, safer revitalized
neighborhoods. Keep City Hall
accessible and accountable. Work
toward more humane treatment of
animals along with a reduction in
the number of unwanted animals. I
will work to keep Albuquerque
moving forward!
City government should always
focus on the basics first and
foremost - public safety and crime
prevention. After that other quality
of life issues must be addressed by
continuing to strengthen our neighborhoods through enhancements to
our existing amenities like our
parks, libraries and senior centers.
As our collective ages are increasing we must dedicate more
resources for our senior population
including more “need specific” public
transportation.
No issue is more critical to the
health of our neighborhoods and the
vitality of our economy than smart
and sensible growth and development. I support common sense
policies that encourage redevelopment and new development in the
areas of our city that already have
basic infrastructure. However, I do
not support bureaucratic micromanagement of the free market, unwarranted seizure of private property or
the circumventing of private property
rights.
Don’t force taxpayers to finance
candidates they don’t support.
Using taxpayer dollars is not the
way to address campaign finance
reform. I sponsored Photo Voter ID
to protect our most sacred right and
ensure honest elections. Our vote is
our voice and must be protected.
Not a “living wage” ordinance. The
minimum
wage
should
be
addressed federally. Raising the
minimum wage in Albuquerque will
hurt retirees with the inevitable cost
hike of goods and services.
I believe I can do a better job than
the current city councilor. I am
honest, ethical, straightforward, and
dedicated. I will listen to my constituents, pass ordinances that reflect
their needs, and work for them. I will
defend private property ownership,
support better education, encourage
growth of small business, and work
to make Albuquerque a better place
to live.
I am advocating a third-party audit
of the city’s financial situation, to
uncover waste and mismanagement. The city must have a clear set
of spending priorities, and a straightforward budget using nationally
accepted accounting principles. Priorities are: 1- City operations,
Emergency services (Police, Fire,
and Rescue), 2-Education, charter
schools, and after-school programs.
3-Small business development, 4Beautification, and tourism.
Albuquerque has a Sector Plan and
Planned Growth Strategy, which
needs to be followed and enforced.
I favor Impact Fees for developers
to pay for new infrastructure in new
subdivisions, and Special Assessments to pay for repair and
upgrades in older neighborhoods.
Citizens should not be required to
fund a candidate they do not
support, therefore I oppose public
financing. I support protecting the
election process. Requiring proof of
identity is reasonable. One person,
one vote. I oppose differing
minimum wages throughout the
country. It deters out of state
business, hinders local business
from
growing
beyond
ten
employees, and raises the cost of
services. However, I support any initiative being placed on the ballot.

Albuquerque is my hometown.
Because my parents created a great
life here for me and my family,
giving back to the community is
important to me. My Council experience with city programs and
processes will help me continue to
promote education, crime prevention and economic growth for our
city.
I support performance-based
budgeting as a tool to achieve the
priority objectives of the city. The
budget process provides a forum
for citizens to express their priorities. The results from the citizen’s
survey match my personal priorities: libraries, crime prevention,
education and replacement of
failing storm sewer and water lines
all need continued attention. Albuquerque is a great city. Together
we can make it ever greater.
The current impact fee system is
unfair, poorly thought out and
punitive. I support impact fees;
however, I do not support the
current plan. I will work to create an
impact fee plan that will provide an
even-handed funding resource for
community needs. Developers do
not pay impact fees. That burden is
passed on solely to home buyers
and businesses owners. The City
Council can and should exclude
schools from impact fees.
I am against public financing of
campaigns. Taxpayer dollars should
be spent on community needs, not
candidate needs. I fully support
photo identification at polling places.
The minimum wage is a federal
issue. If passed, a differential
minimum wage will negatively
impact our economic growth
potential.
To better represent the people in
District 9. I am a consensus builder
and as such am able to put politics
aside for the betterment of District 9.
Police, fire, emergency and ambulatory care, streets and sidewalks,
water, sewers, after school youth
programs.
Make sure the fees are fair to all
citizens in District 9. I will look at the
planned growth strategy to make
sure property taxes are not affected
by past decisions.
A) Public financing, NO B) Photo ID,
YES C) Living wage, NO Cities
should not be involved with this
issue.

I believe that the constituents of
District 9 deserve a strong, coherent
voice and a responsive leader with
the right priorities. As an independent minded individual, I will work to
protect our tax dollars, improve our
District’s crumbling communities and
control crime while promoting
responsible growth.
As custodians of the constituents
tax dollars, the City Council has a
responsibility to the taxpayers of
Albuquerque. I believe that as a City
Councilor I will have a responsibility
to exercise fiscal prudence in using
tax dollars for what is truly needed
for operation of the City; rather, than
what is wanted for pet projects by
elected officials. The number one
priority should be for protection of
the public safety of all residents.
I am a supporter of the Planned
Growth Strategy for the center and
corridors of our City. Impact fees
are a key component for a successful growth strategy for Albuquerque.
However, we need to compromise
on a fee schedule that is fair to all
taxpayers and is not punitive in
nature.
The people deserve to own their
elections. This is an issue of access
to our elected officials; it is an issue
of ownership of one’s government. I
am not against voter ID. However,
any measure must be comprehensive to include absentee voting and
it must ensure that no voters are
disenfranchised. The minimum
wage should be set at the Federal
level; however, the voters of Albuquerque should be given the opportunity to decide for themselves.
I can do more for our district in the
areas of public safety, economic
development of East Central, and
responding to the needs of the
neighborhoods in District 9. As a
former Assistant City Attorney who
represented the Albuquerque Police
Department and the Planning
Department, I have unique experience and knowledge of how to get
things done, and how to form coalitions and broker compromises to
move the Council forward as a collaborative body.
Our top priority must be public
safety. We must recruit and retain
police officers, so that we can have
them in our neighborhoods. We
have to also make sure that all of
those who respond to emergencies
have everything they need. We
need to do what it takes to keep our
neighborhoods clean and safe. We
need to improve our infrastructure.
Programs for children and families,
such as the after school programs,
must be protected.
Carefully and slowly. First, I believe
that the impact fees are excessive.
They are a “tax” on developers, not
a “fee.” Developers will have to pay
for more infrastructure than before,
but the impact fees as enacted do
not strike the right balance. Growth
is dynamic by definition. We must
make sure we have good zoning,
infrastructure, parks, schools and
architectural control. However, we
could prevent growth if we try too
hard to plan it.
The taxpayers should not pay for
political campaigns. Making political
campaigns a government program
would be a disaster. I support voter
identification. We must look for other
ways to make our elections even
more secure, including absentee
voting. Our precious right to vote must
be guarded. Raising the minimum
wage will hurt low income workers by
harming the business climate, especially small businesses. If enacted, it
could cause a flight of businesses to
surrounding communities.
BOND ISSUES
Ten General Obligation (G.O.) Bond questions will appear on the October 4 election ballot. The total amount of the proposed capital projects is
$121,125,000 for the two-year bond cycle.
The projects have been grouped according to their general purposes into ten ballot questions. General Obligation bond projects are grouped by
purpose, so that voters have the option of approving one purpose and not another. Once approved, the funds must be used for the approved
purpose only.
The projects proposed for voter approval were selected through a planning process that involved the Mayor, City Council and the public. For
more information on these bond issues go to www.cabq.gov/cip/planning.
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND TAXES
There are several types of bonds, the most significant being General Obligation
bonds and Revenue bonds. In this election, the ballot questions deal only with
General Obligation bonds. A bond represents a debt for money borrowed by a
government to finance capital improvement projects. The government promises
to repay the amount borrowed, plus interest, over a period of time.
General Obligation bonds require approval by the voters. Historically, the City of
Albuquerque has limited the size of requested General Obligation bond issues
in order to keep the City’s property tax rate level from one bond issuance to the
next. The G.O. bonds issued by the City are paid from property tax revenues.
New bonds are issued as older bonds are retired, keeping the City’s debt
service levy at a fairly constant level.
The bonds are called “General Obligation” because payment of the debt service
(principal and interest) is a general obligation of the City and its property
owners. That is, the bonds are backed by the full-faith and credit of the City.
The City receives only about 30% of the property taxes paid by the typical
Albuquerque homeowner; almost 70% goes to other governmental and
educational entities.
The City property tax rate will not increase to pay for these GO Bonds. New
bonds are issued as older bonds are retired, thus keeping the City’s property
tax rate essentially constant.

BALLOT PROPOSITIONS
There will be three propositions on the Municipal Election ballot asking the voter to decide whether or not the law should be changed to
enact these proposals. The ballot propositions to be decided by the voters in this election are a charter amendment for public financing of
campaigns for elections, a resolution to require photo identification before voting and a proposal to enact a living wage ordinance.
Proposition to Amend the City
Charter to Provide for Public
Campaign Financing
Proposing an amendment to the Albuquerque City Charter to
enact the Open and Ethical Elections Code. This code will
establish voluntary limits on campaign spending and equal
public financing of campaigns for elections. Participating
Candidates for Mayor and Council to shall voluntarily limit their
campaign spending and receive an equal amount of public
financing from the General Fund for each office and shall agree
not to accept or spend private campaign contributions. The City
Attorney and the City Clerk shall administer these funds with
strict accountability to assure that all funds are used in the
manner for which they are intended.
• Albuquerque would establish a public financing fund to
pay for mayoral and city council campaigns.
• Participation from the candidates would be voluntary.
• Candidates would have to gather $5 donations from 1%
of the registered voters in their district to be eligible to
receive funding from the public financing fund.
• The $5 donations collected by the candidates would be
deposited in the public financing fund. In addition, the city’s
operating fund would contribute $450,000 to the fund.
• In general, candidates who elect to participate in the
public financing would each receive from the fund $1 for
every registered voter in their district to fund their
campaign for public office.
• In exchange for getting disbursements from the fund,
candidates would not be allowed to accept or spend private
campaign contributions.
Proposition to Enact
a Living Wage Ordinance
Proposing to enact a Living Wage Ordinance that establishes
a Minimum Wage in the City of Albuquerque of $7.50 per hour
for regular employees and $4.50 per hour for tipped employees.
The ordinance will not cover small businesses with ten or fewer
employees, work-study students, interns working for academic
credit, or certain other employees who are exempt
from the New Mexico Minimum Wage Law. Each year in the
future the minimum wage rates will be increased to keep pace
with inflation. The ordinance provides for enforcement, including
double damages for unpaid wages, and forbids retaliation
against employees for exercising their rights.
• Would require a minimum wage of $7.50 an hour for
regular employees and $4.50 an hour for tipped employees.
• Would apply only to businesses with more than 10
employees and would not apply to student interns, workstudy participants or to those otherwise exempt from the
New Mexico Minimum Wage law.
• The minimum wage would be indexed to rise with
inflation.
• Employers would be required to provide the public access
to non-work areas of their business, that are otherwise open
to the public or customers, to inform employees of their
rights under this ordinance and other laws.
• Penalties for violation include double damages for unpaid
wages. It would be unlawful to retaliate against any
employee for exercising their rights protected under the
ordinance.
Proposition to Amend the Election
Code to Provide for Voter Photo
Identification Requirement for
Municipal Elections
Amending the Election Code of the Albuquerque City Charter.
Municipal Election Judges shall locate in the election rolls the
name given by the voter and ask that voter to provide a United
States Federal or State government identification document
containing the name and photograph of the voter or a voter
photo identification issued by the City Clerk. The City Clerk shall
issue voter photo identification at no charge to the voter. Voters
without such identification shall not be allowed to vote, provided
that voters shall be allowed to obtain from the City Clerk a voter
photo identification card on election day and the voter may
return to vote, time permitting, until 7 pm. The voter photo
identification shall be issued to any voter who presents any one
of the following documents that shows the name of the voter:
government issued identification, employee identification,
professional association card, utility bill, bank statement,
government check or a paycheck. If the individual is unable to
present any one of these documents to the City Clerk, then he
or she shall swear or affirm under penalty of perjury, in writing,
that he or she is the registered voter and shall be issued a
voter photo identification card. The City Clerk shall develop and
provide instructions to Election Judges concerning voter photo
Identification requirements and a method of complaint and
resolution for individuals who feel they have been discriminated
against in the issuance of voter photo identification cards. The
City Clerk issued voter photo identification card shall state on
the face of the card that the card shall not be valid for
identification other than for the purpose of voting in City
Elections. This Section applies only to City of Albuquerque
Municipal Elections.
• Would apply only to municipal elections and would not
apply to voters submitting mail in absentee ballots.
• Voters at a polling place would be required to show a
current valid photo identification card containing the voter’s
name and photograph.
• The identification card must have a photo. Examples of
accepted photo identification cards include any government
issued photo ID, a driver’s license, student ID card, credit
or debit card, insurance card or union card, or voter ID card
issued by the City Clerk.
• If a voter is unable to provide a photo ID they may vote
on a provisional ballot if they sign an affidavit swearing
that they are the voter listed on the voter registration rolls
and provide their date of birth and last four digits of their
Social Security number.
• The provisional ballot will not be counted unless within
the 10-day canvassing period the voter presents to the City
Clerk a photo ID.
• The City Clerk without charge shall issue voter photo
identification cards if the voter presents two forms of
identification documents showing the voter’s name and
address.
• If the voter is unable to present two documents, the voter
may swear that they are a registered voter and upon
confirmation by the City Clerk that such person is currently
registered to vote, a voter photo ID card will be issued.
