    Albuquerque Local Pulse: Medical Malpractice Reform, Water Woes, Curling Champs, and Community Trees

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, February 15. We start with breaking news from our state legislature, where medical malpractice reform legislation just moved to the Senate yesterday, according to the Greater Albuquerque Chamber. This could lower healthcare costs for us all, making treatments more affordable around UNM Hospital and Presbyterian. Meanwhile, city hall eyes water woes as states sharing the Colorado River missed another deadline on conservation plans, with New Mexico urged to cut more amid our low snowpack. Senator John Hickenlooper calls it dire for Albuquerque's supply from the Rio Grande to Elephant Butte Reservoir, so we stay vigilant on daily usage. Shifting to public safety, APD reports no major incidents in the past day, but we note a suspect swallowed drugs during a chase near Central Avenue last week, per ABQ Raw, and U.S. Marshals nabbed a fugitive with BCSO SWAT support downtown. Stay alert near Lomas Boulevard. On a high note, our local couple Derek Surka and Charrissa Lin from the Northeast Heights are in Connecticut providing expert curling stats for NBC's Winter Olympics coverage in Italy. These former champs, who won a national title here in 2013, help announcers break down the ice action every day. Jobs look steady with about 1,200 openings listed on city sites, many in healthcare near Kirtland Air Force Base. Real estate sees median home prices around $320,000, up slightly near Journal Center, drawing families despite water talks. Weather today brings mild sun with highs near 55 degrees under clear skies, perfect for outdoor walks along the Bosque Trail, though low humidity means bundle up evenings. Outlook stays dry through Tuesday. New business buzz includes a fresh coffee spot opening on San Mateo near I-40. Upcoming, the Chamber's CrimeStat Luncheon hits March 11 at Hotel Albuquerque with DA Sam Bregman. Local schools cheer Valley High's basketball win over 70 to 60 Friday night. And for feel-good, a North Valley group planted 200 trees yesterday at Coronado Park, boosting our green spaces. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for daily updates.

    Weekend Update: Albuquerque Mother Jailed, Teachers Lose Raises, Workforce Board Meets

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, February 14th. We're starting this morning with a developing story that's shaken our community. An Albuquerque mother remains in custody after authorities say she set a fire in her apartment with her two young children inside earlier this week. According to the Albuquerque Police Department, officers responded to an apartment complex near Central Avenue and Juan Tabo Boulevard on February 7th after neighbors reported smoke and concerns about the woman's behavior. Body camera footage shows a bathtub engulfed in flames as officers searched the unit. Both children were able to escape and were taken to a local hospital, where staff discovered they were covered in lighter fluid. The mother claims it was an accident while cooking, but a judge ruled Friday that she's too dangerous to be released pending trial. What's particularly concerning is that family members had reached out to both police and the Children Youth and Family Department multiple times before this incident, expressing serious worries about her mental health. According to CYFD, they received three reports between February 5th and 7th and responded each time, but the mother refused to cooperate with investigators. The children are now in the care of family members, and a GoFundMe page has been set up to support them as they recover from this traumatic experience. On the state level, we've got news that's affecting teachers and public employees across New Mexico, including right here in Albuquerque. The state budget draft has cut the planned one percent cost of living raises for teachers, firefighters, police, and other public sector workers. It's the first year under Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham that these employees won't receive an annual raise. According to the New Mexico chapter of the American Federation of Teachers, last year these workers received a three percent increase, so this marks a significant shift. Officials say they had to find nearly 62 million dollars in recurring capacity elsewhere in the budget due to funding concerns. However, there's some offsetting news. A bill advancing through the legislature would require employers to pay 80 percent of health insurance premiums for educators, bringing them in line with other state employees and potentially offsetting some of the impact from the missing raises. Looking ahead, the State Workforce Development Board has a meeting scheduled for February 26th at 2 p.m. at the Mid-Region Council of Governments if you're interested in statewide employment initiatives. We hope you'll stay safe out there this weekend, and thank you for tuning in to Albuquerque Local Pulse. Don't forget to subscribe for tomorrow's updates. This has been a Quiet Please production.

    Iconic "Breaking Bad" House Sold, Retail Theft Bust, Spring Storm Hits Albuquerque | Albuquerque Local Pulse

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, February 13. We kick off with exciting real estate buzz: the iconic Breaking Bad house on Avenida de las Pueblas has gone under contract after a fierce bidding war sparked by streamer Adin Ross claiming he snagged it. Listing agent Alicia Feil says offers poured in from around the world, pushing the price well above the $400,000 ask, with a possible close by February 24. Fans are thrilled, and the longtime owners get a big reward after years of fame and chaos. Shifting to city hall, legislators Heather Berghmans and Antoinette Sedillo Lopez are pushing Senate Bill 91 to let us keep all revenue from speed cameras, about $2 million to $3 million more yearly for Vision Zero safety fixes. APDs 25 cameras on key spots like high-crash arteries have already cut speeds up to 8 miles per hour and issued nearly 582,000 tickets since 2022, making our streets safer without more audits. On the crime front, APD cleverly busted a retail theft ring stealing over $25,000 from the Target on Coors Boulevard near I-40. Detectives hid a tracker in a stolen vacuum, tracked it to a suspects hideout, and confirmed sales on Facebook Marketplace at steep discounts. Months of work under the 2023 retail crime law turned it into a felony case, reminding us to watch for too-good-to-be-true deals. Weather wise, a spring-like Pacific storm hits today with rain through late tonight, up to a quarter inch around town, and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. It wont dent our low snowpack much, so expect a longer fire season ahead, but bundle up for wet drives on Paseo del Norte or Central Avenue. Mountains near Taos Ski Valley could see up to 8 inches of snow. New business is quiet, but were eyeing job growth with about 1,500 openings in retail and tech listed locally this week. No big openings or closings, though Los Alamos Brewer Arena just got $2.8 million for upgrades, boosting regional events. Mark your calendars for the weekend Art Walk on Nob Hill this Saturday and a free concert at Popejoy Hall Sunday. Local schools report strong basketball wins for Albuquerque High last night. And a feel-good note: community volunteers cleared trash from the Bosque trail, making our river walks even better for families. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe.

    Albuquerque data centers face new rules, police chief search continues, local business closing after 100 years

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, February 12. We start with big news from Bernalillo County, where commissioners just approved tough restrictions on new AI data centers. Sponsored by Commissioner Eric Olivas, the rules make companies cover their own massive electricity and water needs, pay workers at least 120 percent of the area median wage, and give back to the community through minimum county payments. Olivas says its to protect our fixed-income seniors and families from rising utility bills, especially with data centers like Metas in Los Lunas already booming nearby. This could shape job growth here, prioritizing New Mexicans in hiring and renewable energy. Over at City Hall, more than 1,000 of us weighed in on the next police chief search through surveys, focus groups, and forums. Top asks include visible, ethical leadership thats out in neighborhoods like Downtown and along transit lines, plus community-centered policing that builds trust with youth and those experiencing homelessness. We want faster responses and safer patrols too. A sad local business note: an Albuquerque staple is closing after nearly 100 years, saying goodbye to loyal customers. And Isleta Amphitheater is getting a fresh name soon. On crime, an Albuquerque teen was sentenced for his role in a deadly botched robbery, a reminder to stay vigilant. No major alerts in the past day, but were watching. Sports fans, the Don Kirby Elite Invitational kicks off tomorrow at the Albuquerque Convention Center, drawing top track athletes like Arizona States Amir Thompson with his blazing 20.62 second 200-meter dash. Local schools are advancing K-3 math and reading bills at the legislature too. New UNM Police Headquarters air quality permit opened for comments today through March 14. Weather today: sunny and mild, highs near 55 degrees around the Sandia foothills, perfect for outdoor walks along the Bosque trail. No impacts, with clear skies holding through the weekend. Looking ahead, catch community forums on the police chief search and track meets. Real estate stays steady, with about 1,200 listings citywide.

    Albuquerque Local Pulse: Fatal crashes, actor indicted, council meetings, economic updates, and sports highlights.

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, February 8. We kick off with breaking news from our city streets. Albuquerque Police are investigating two fatal crashes from overnight. A motorcyclist died after losing control on 12th Street NW near Menaul Boulevard, slamming into a roundabout. Minutes later on Coors Boulevard and Sequoia Road NW, a rollover ejected and killed one driver in a two-car collision. We urge drivers to stay cautious as investigations continue. Shifting to public safety, Bernalillo County prosecutors indicted actor Timothy Busfield on four counts of criminal sexual contact with a child. The charges stem from alleged abuse of twin boys during filming of The Cleaning Lady here in Albuquerque last year. Authorities emphasize their commitment to protecting our kids. From City Hall, the Council has a packed week ahead with meetings on land use planning February 11 at the Government Center and a special session tomorrow evening. These could shape zoning around neighborhoods like the Northeast Heights, directly impacting our daily commutes and growth. Business is buzzing. Building permits hit 23 million dollars last week, topped by nearly five million for upgrades at the Sunport rental car center. Oracle doubled job projections for Project Jupiter, promising hundreds more tech roles downtown. And the Breaking Bad house on Avenida Cesar Chavez is back on the market for 400 thousand dollars, drawing real estate eyes. UNM Lobos basketball took another hit, falling to Boise State for their second straight loss, but local high schoolers shone with Sandia topping La Cueva in a big Class 5A win. Our weather stays mild today, sunny highs near 55 degrees with light winds, perfect for outdoor plans, though watch for evening chill through midweek. Looking ahead, Food Truck Fridays return in March around Civic Plaza, and Grammy winner Patty Griffin plays at the Sunshine Theater this week. For a feel-good note, West Mesa students dove into STEM careers via US Navy virtual reality at their school. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe for daily updates.

    Albuquerque Local Pulse: Power Grid Debate, Business Boosts, Arrests, High School Hoops, and More

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, February 7th. We kick off with breaking news from our city, where hundreds gathered at a public hearing to oppose the proposed sale of TXNM Energy to Blackstone, voicing strong concerns over our power grid's future stability. Meanwhile, city hall stepped up for businesses along Central Avenue, launching mural and paint grants plus window repair funds to spruce up our vibrant corridor and boost daily foot traffic. Shifting to public safety, Albuquerque Police ended a tense six-hour standoff along I-40 near Eubank yesterday with a fatal shooting, and roads reopened quickly. In a significant arrest, four people face charges for nearly fifty thousand dollars in beauty store thefts across town. And Bernalillo County prosecutors indicted West Wing actor Timothy Busfield on four counts of criminal sexual contact with a child, tied to incidents on the set of The Cleaning Lady filmed right here, with an arraignment set for February sixteenth. We report these facts sensitively, prioritizing child protection. On a brighter note, our Lobos added two key transfers to bolster the team after that tough Utah State loss in The Pit, keeping hoops excitement alive at University Arena. High school buzz has No. one Rio Rancho topping Cleveland in a top-five thriller, and Sandias boys look strong in five-A rankings. West Mesa students got a thrill from US Navy STEM demos using virtual reality. Jobs are heating up with the state rolling out free broadband workforce training soon, perfect for our tech scene at Roadrunner Venture Studios downtown. Real estate sees the iconic Breaking Bad house back on the market near Paisano Court for four hundred thousand dollars, and that historic Sandia Heights home linked to balloonist Ben Abruzzo has a new owner. New spots include Little Caesars in the South Valley, Pazzi Ristorante Italiano in Northeast Heights, and Paris Baguette plus IHOP on the West Side. Last Call Eatery on Fourth Street sadly closed after just three months, but Food Truck Fridays return in March at Robinson Park. Mark your calendars for the Land Use Planning Committee meeting February eleventh at City Council chambers on Civic Plaza. Weather today brings clear skies and mild temps in the upper fifties, ideal for outdoor errands, with a dry weekend outlook ahead. We wrap with a feel-good nod to UNM Fine Arts welcoming artist Larry Madrigal, celebrating local creativity. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and please subscribe for more.

    Albuquerque Local Pulse: Healthcare, Infrastructure, and Community Highlights

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, February 6. We start with big news from our state capitol that hits home. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham just signed bills making it easier for doctors and social workers from out of state to practice here, which means better access to care right here in Albuquerque. She also approved the Immigrant Safety Act, banning local deals with ICE detention, though it spares our Bernalillo County facilities for now. And 1.5 billion in bonds for road fixes could smooth out potholes on I-40 and Central Avenue soon. The House passed an 11 billion dollar budget pushing universal child care, now heading to the Senate, with funds to help early educators like those in local home centers. Over at City Hall, short-term rental rules for Nob Hill and Old Town failed again in a 4 to 5 council vote, keeping Airbnbs close together but sparking debate on neighborhood impacts and lodgers tax dips during Balloon Fiesta. On a serious note, a new memorial advances to tackle our states rape kit backlog, with senators calling out police process failures, aiming for real change in victim support. Crime in the past day stays steady, with no major incidents or alerts from APD, keeping our streets safer as we focus on community trust. Sports wise, our Lobos fought hard but fell to Utah State, while the New Mexico Collegiate Classic kicks off today at the Albuquerque Convention Center Indoor Track, drawing UCLA, Lobos, and top teams through tomorrow. Weather brings mild temps in the low 50s with light winds, perfect for outdoor plans, though a chillier evening calls for jackets, outlook clear into the weekend. New business buzz includes child care operators eyeing wage boosts from the budget, and real estate holds with median homes around 320,000 dollars, jobs steady at about 3 percent unemployment. Mark your calendars for the track meet this weekend, and local schools celebrate funding resets for better resources. Finally, a feel-good shoutout to advocates pushing child care wins, valuing our neighborhoods like Magnolias center for 15 kids. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe.

    Albuquerque Protests, ICE Arrests, and Job Openings - Albuquerque Local Pulse, Jan 31

    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, January 31. We kick off with breaking news from yesterday, when thousands of us filled Civic Plaza in Downtown Albuquerque, shutting down streets to protest ICE killings in Minneapolis and rally for House Bill 9, the Immigrant Safety Act that just passed the House to end local contracts with immigration detention centers. Protesters waved signs like Fight ignorance, not immigrants, while students from Albuquerque High walked out of classes, and businesses like La Finca Bowls and Books on the Bosque donated sales to mutual aid groups. City Hall and Alvarado Square closed early due to the crowds, but transit and 311 stayed open, showing our communitys passion for protecting everyone here, regardless of status. Shifting to public safety, APD arrested repeat offender Kevin Baros last night in a tense standoff on the 2500 block of San Mateo Boulevard NE after he fled in a stolen Acura from a Turo rental. Hes facing charges of aggravated fleeing and resisting, on top of prior burglary warrants, reminding us to stay vigilant on our roads. From city hall, Mayor Tim Kellers July executive order reaffirming Albuquerque as a sanctuary city got a boost from these protests, with offices reopening Monday. On jobs, we see over 20,000 openings locally, from 19-dollar-an-hour stockers at Costco on Wyoming to 20-dollar Member Service Reps at Navy Federal in Uptown and even FBI Special Agents paying up to 128 grand. Weather today brings sunny highs near 55 under clear skies, perfect for weekend plans along Central Avenue, though chilly mornings mean bundle up. Outlook stays dry through Monday. Quick cultural note, Route 66s centennial spotlight on Central means more events soon. UNM Hospitals new Critical Care Tower opens healthcare jobs. Schools buzz with walkout solidarity, and for feel-good, families like the Rhodericks joined grandkids at the march, standing for civility. Upcoming, check community rallies and Route 66 walks this weekend. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for more. This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse.
