Albuquerque's Big Talk: Crime, Homelessness, and Your Chance to Ask Tough Questions

The Albuquerque Journal is shaking things up. They're ditching the old way of doing things behind closed doors. Now, they're bringing the conversation out into the open. On March 2, they're hosting a live town hall with Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. The focus? Crime, safety, homelessness, and addiction. It's all happening in the Journal auditorium at 5 p. m. And guess what? You're invited. This isn't just a one-time thing. It's a new way for the Journal to connect with the community. They want to be more transparent. They want you to see how they make their decisions. So, they're livestreaming the whole thing. You can watch it live or catch the recording later on their website. Plus, you can even ask questions. If you're watching virtually, there's a way to submit your questions. If you're in the room, you might even get to ask your question directly.The Journal has been changing things up lately. They've stopped endorsing candidates in big elections. Instead, they're focusing on specific policy proposals. They want to keep their readers happy, even if they don't agree on everything. But they're still committed to holding powerful people accountable. And now, they're doing it in a way that everyone can see. This town hall is just the beginning. The Journal plans to do more of these. They want to talk to city councilors, the mayor, agency heads, and other leaders. They believe that questions matter. Answers matter. And now, your presence matters too. So, if you're interested in Albuquerque's biggest issues, tune in. Ask your questions. Be part of the conversation.
