Mayoral Mechanics: 14 At The Start But Far Fewer At The Finish

Mayoral Mechanics: 14 At The Start But Far Fewer At The Finish  

There are 14 candidates registered to run for the 2017 Albuquerque mayoral race but political pros have already narrowed the field to three or four candidates who they see as having a realistic chance at replacing Mayor Richard Berry who in December will finish his final term in office.

The open seat has drawn a diverse batch of candidates but most are not positioned to either qualify for the ballot and/or raise the necessary funds to conduct a professional campaign. It's easy to toss your hat into the ring but to actually get in there and duke it out takes much more than that.

The first hurdle to cross for the would-be mayors is collecting 3,000 valid signatures from registered city voters. The key word is valid. Many of the signatures collected will be from persons not registered. Consultants say a candidate will need to get about 5,000 signatures to make sure they get the 3,000 valid ones that will guarantee them a place on the October 3 ballot.

Early Childhood Amendment A Go In House But Senate Is Still Sty In The Eye, Plus: Guv And Dems Rush To Embrace Harper Tax Plan As Part Of Budget Deal, But Big Questions Surface

Early Childhood Amendment A Go In House But Senate Is Still Sty In The Eye, Plus: Guv And Dems Rush To Embrace Harper Tax Plan As Part Of Budget Deal, But Big Questions Surface

Once again the state House has approved a constitutional amendment--37-32--that would let voters decide in 2018 if they want to tap about $150 million a year from the state's $15 billion Land Grant Permanent School Fund for mostly very early childhood education (ages zero to five).

As in years past the debate ran along familiar lines, with Dem Reps. Moe Maestas and Liz Thomson arguing that a focus on very early education would disrupt decades of failure that have put the state in the cellar in child well-being and poverty rankings. Republican Rep. Dennis Roche claimed that tapping the fund would "mortgage our future."

The argument that carried the day pointed to a study by Dr. James J. Heckman of the University of Chicago putting the rate of return on investment in early childhood education at 13% annually. A Dem spokesman saying: "Children who benefit from early childhood programs have significantly better life outcomes in education, health, social behavior, and employment. They are more likely to graduate from high school and college and they are less likely to be involved in crime. It is a moral imperative that we invest in early childhood education now.”
