Albuquerque’s Crime Problem Hurts The State Business Environment

The Albuquerque Journal points out just how jarring the stats are with a headline that reads “In Bernalillo County: 114 people shot in 112 days.” While the crime rate is lower in other parts of our state, these types of headlines impact the view of our state and whether or not businesses choose to relocate or open here.

True Statesmanship at the NMBC BASH

Did you miss the BASH? Last Thursday at the Marriott hotel in Albuquerque, NMBC members gathered to hear Senators John Arthur Smith and Stuart Ingle on stage together discussing the events of our last legislative session and thoughts on moving forward.

Last Thursday’s BASH (Business and Social Hour) event was a refreshing departure from the rough and tumble political climate of today, and an example of true statesmanship and friendly bipartisan comradery.  Both Senators  Smith and  Ingle were in true form at the BASH as they covered the events of our last legislative session and elaborated on the path forward for our state.
