Budget vote delays Albuquerque budget adjustments miss
City officials faced a late night decision delaying budget adjustments amid a split vote. Financials show reductions of 185000 in revenue and 294000 in expenditures, with one time gains from flood clean up and a lawsuit settlement helping the general fund. One proposed measure would seed a DWI vehicle seizure program, opposed by Wilkins, and a utility fund review projected a 2.99 million revenue drop from lower water use.
