ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The word of the day (or night) at the Albuquerque City Council’s Aug. 2 meeting?
Deferral.
In the council’s first session back after a monthlong summer hiatus, many of the votes were postponement-driven.
The council voted to delay action on a bill that would have reserved 2% of the city’s general obligation bond proceeds for infrastructure improvements in underserved areas, as well as on a trio of bus-fare bills, including legislation requiring the city to start a free bus service pilot project by Oct. 1.
......................
This comes after the City Council in May passed a budget that included $3 million to support going to a no-fare bus model.
