Benton

EDo News & Views endorses Isaac Benton for re-election to a 2nd term as City Councilor for District 3, which includes EDo, Downtown, South Broadway, Barelas, Martineztown, and the other close-in neighborhoods. His opponent is County Commissioner Alan Armijo.  We believe Councilor Benton has been a leader for our neighborhoods, and for our City as a whole. He has recently been serving as the Council President, elected by his peers. We thank Commissioner Armijo for his many years of excellent public service to our City and County and thank him for running. We urge you to vote for the candidate of your choice on Tuesday, October 6th.

ENV Endorses Richard Romero for Mayor

Posted in Views on September 9th, 2009

Romero

Richard is a Downtown resident, served in the Air National Guard, is a former principal of new Albuquerque High, and a 12-year member of the State Senate representing Downtown. He served as President Pro Tem of the Senate from 2001-4. He has proven collaborative leadership skills.      On local, state and national levels, Richard will best represent the values and the warmth of the people of Albuquerque.
We thank Martin Chavez for his public service to our City, but having served three of the last four terms as Mayor, we think Mr. Chavez needs to honor the City Charter two-term limit. Democracy is not well served, in our view, by institutionalizing the office of Mayor. We also thank Richard Berry for his willingness to run for public office. We encourage everyone to vote on Tuesday, October 6th.

Forbes.com Bullish on Albuquerque

Posted in EDo, News, Views on November 17th, 2008

“Believe it or not, in the future people will be buying and selling homes. Some of them will even make a profit,” writes Matt Woolsey in Forbes.com. ”It’s not so crazy an idea. Consider Albuquerque, NM. … it’s a city that home builders and economists are bullish about for 2010 and beyond.”

Despite economic difficulties throughout the nation in 2008 and extending into 2009, we certainly agree that Albuquerque — especially the East Downtown corridor — will continue the be an excellent location to live and work for many years to come.
