No money for more cops.

The Journal reported this morning that the Albuquerque Police Department is not going to be stimulated with federal funds.

This a wrench in the gears of Mayor Marty Chavez' promise to voters, that he will grow the police department by another 100 officers, if he is elected.

The circumstances would seem to
require Chavez to recant. Either that,
or he needs to explain to voters,
where the funding will come from,
to make good on his promise.
