Show Notes
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Kellers proposed budget for fiscal year 2027, totaling $1.47 billion, marks a 35 million dollar decrease from this year, due to inflation, healthcare costs, and reduced federal funds. The budget includes 247 position cuts and in-house work to save money. Public safety receives significant funding, with police and firefighters receiving the highest pay hikes in city history. The APD trimmed positions and shifted resources to the streets, aiming for 1100 sworn officers. Fire rescue and community safety also see increased funding for outreach and staffing. Health, housing, and homelessness funding rises, and youth services expand. The budget is described as disciplined, trimming fat while maintaining essential services.
