ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is preparing to hold her second public safety town hall. Tonight’s event will be at Central New Mexico’s Smith Brasher Hall off University Boulevard near Coal Avenue in southeast Albuquerque.
The governor held the first town hall in Las Cruces last Thursday. Some of the issues she talked about included mental health and crime. This comes after the special session Gov. Lujan Grisham called earlier this month only lasted a few hours. Her proposals focused on mental health and reducing crime. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say the Governor has not used any of the money they set aside to fund her ‘tough-crime’ ideas.
“What we’ve done in the last few years is appropriate funds to the Governor,” Las Cruces Democratic Representative Angelica Rubio said. She goes on to say there was more than $800 million to improve public safety, but it has not been spent.
“Where has she been? It’s like she’s being asleep at the wheel and all of a sudden,” Bernalillo and Torrance County Republican Rep. Stefani Lord said.
Tonight’s town hall will take place at Central New Mexico’s Smith Brasher Hall on University Boulevard near Coal Avenue at 5:30 p.m.
The governor will wrap up the town halls in Espanola tomorrow.
