The Daily Word in the hatchet hitchhiker, the UNM groper and Unemployed Reporter Porter

The APS board election is today and voters will decide whether or not to approve a large bond that would maintain and improve Albuquerque's schools.

The Laguna man who ran over a cyclist is mad at the victim's family.

UNM now has a grope hot-line.

Screw the campaign commercials

Chris Rock’s satirical campaign commercial: “A special message for white people.”

Even I’m sick of them. And I love this stuff.

I hear lots of people talking about how they’re all burned out on political candidates and their endless bickering. This is the most expensive election of all time. And where did that money go? Ads. Lots and lots of ads.

But even if you don’t care at all about who’s the next president, senator, county commissioner, whatever, there are a few other issues on the ballot today that are worth your attention.

Do you think Albuquerque’s minimum wage should go up $1? Our election team does, and here’s why.

Do you think Albuquerque should spend $50 million on rebuilding the Paseo and I-25 interchange? We didn’t. Here’s why.

And what about those amendments? Three of the five are about strengthening the Public Regulation Commission. They probably stem from the disaster that was Commissioner Jerome Block Jr. The Alibi’s endorsement crew likes all the amendments, especially the one that pulls the Public Defender’s Office out from under the thumb of the guv. (You may not care about that agency today, but you will if you ever get in trouble with the law and you can’t afford a private attorney.)

    Reporter Margaret Wright took a look at the state of our secretary of state this week. And while she did, some startling numbers came up. Of 1.5 million eligible voters in New Mexico, a quarter-million aren’t registered. The percentage of unregistered voters is twice as high in low-income households.

    But SOS Dianna Duran has her attention elsewhere: On the specter of voter fraud, Wright reports.

    Tuesday, Oct. 9, is the last day to register to vote in the 2012 general election. Get it done!
