Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, November 29, 2024. We're starting off with a look at the Thanksgiving holiday schedule for city services. Most city offices and services are closed today, following the Thanksgiving Day holiday yesterday. However, the Albuquerque International Sunport remains open, and ABQ RIDE buses are operating on a modified Saturday schedule[1].
In local news, the New Mexico State Auditor has released findings on lavish spending at Western New Mexico University, highlighting over $214,000 spent on trips that violated university policies and nearly $150,000 on unauthorized credit card transactions[2].
Moving to community events, local bakeries have come together to help feed the community this holiday season. Additionally, the Department of Senior Affairs is hosting a Thanksgiving Family Dinner at the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center and is collecting donations for older adults in need[1][2].
On the job market front, there are no major hiring announcements or new job postings to report today. However, the city is preparing to discuss how to spend state funds, with District 6 Councilor Nichole Rogers holding public meetings to gather community input[2].
In real estate, there are no notable commercial or residential property sales to report. However, the city is focusing on development projects, including discussions on how to spend nearly $150 million in funds meant to fight the opioid epidemic[2].
From city hall, most offices are closed today, but residents can still access some services, such as the 311 Community Contact Center. The city is also reminding residents of the holiday hours for various services, including the Albuquerque BioPark and the Albuquerque Museum[1].
Weather-wise, it's a crisp morning in Albuquerque, with clear skies expected throughout the day. However, residents in Ruidoso and Alamogordo are dealing with a power outage due to an ongoing wildfire, affecting KRQE NEWS 13's translator on Buck Mountain[3].
In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report today. However, local businesses are gearing up for the holiday season, with many offering special deals and events.
Looking ahead to community events, the city is hosting several activities in the coming days, including a special Black Friday adoption event at Lucky Paws animal shelter today[1].
In local school achievements, there are no specific updates to report today. However, the community is coming together to support various causes, including the Annual Senior Holiday Donation Drive and Operation Silent Night to help shelter animals[1].
On the crime front, Albuquerque Fire Rescue responded to an apartment blaze on Maple Street SE earlier this week, with no major incidents reported in the past 24 hours[5].
Finally, a feel-good community story: local bakeries are working together to feed the community this holiday season, a great example of the city's spirit of giving[2].
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
