Council President calls Council to fight for justice in 2021
When Council President Roy Avellaneda had his coffee shop open and thriving in Cary Square, there were a number of meaningful quotes on the ceiling from world thought leaders like John F. Kennedy, Gandhi, Bob Marley and William Faulkner.
Council President Roy Avellaneda asked his fellow councillors to fight injustice in all forms this year – perhaps making some enemies along the way. He was re-elected in an 8-0 vote of his colleagues to a second term.
He would often talk to customers about which quote stood out to them and why, but a quote from Winston Churchill always stood out to him, he said. That quote was about making enemies, and it read, ‘You have enemies, good. That means you stood up for something some time in your life.’
The Santa Fe City Council decided Wednesday night to delay voting on a proposal to create a new committee that would address the controversial removal of a monument honoring a historical figure and other tensions that culminated in the October toppling of the Plaza obelisk.
Mayor Alan Webber and City Councilors Roman âTigerâ Abeyta, Carol Romero-Wirth and Chris Rivera announced Tuesday a significant change to the proposed committee that would eliminate an appointed board and replace it with a format based on a similar committee Albuquerqueâs city government has used. That includes one-on-one interviews with residents, questionnaires and three roundtable meetings open to the public.
