New Video: Jobs for ABQ!
My name is Tina Cordova and I'm a small business owner in Albuquerque. Mayor Marty Chavez works hard for us and provides incentives for us to create good paying jobs in our city. We need him in office to keep our city moving forward.
Marty Chavez is endorsed by the Albuquerque Journal who says that we need to keep his "experience and vision" working for us in City Hall.
He's also the only candidate backed by public safety organizations, the Albuquerque Police Officers' Association, the Albuquerque Area Fire Fighters and the Albuquerque Fraternal Order of Police. He's backed by these organizations because he's a tough on crime Mayor who is committed to putting 100 more cops on our streets.
Thanks to Mayor Chavez' leadership, our city is on top of all the right lists. We're #1 for business and careers according to Forbes Magazine and we're "one of the top cities in America" according to Kiplinger. We're on the right track and headed in the right direction thanks to Mayor Chavez' leadership.
Together, we can keep a leader with a vision for our city's future and a strong record of producing results working for us in City Hall.
During the holiday season, paid parking around town is made free to encourage people to support local businesses. My question is, why not make parking free all year round to support local businesses.
I doubt the revenues collected from parking are enough to cover the expense of running the parking enforcement department (maintenance of parking ticketing machines, staff pay, the cost of those cool Segways, etc.).
If the city truly wanted to support local business, they would eliminate paid parking. I know many people avoid places like Nob Hill for this exact reason. The increase in gross receipts would likely be greater than the net-"profit" from parking tickets.
