For 2020, current Mayor Tim Keller proposed a budget with 1,053 officers. That year’s actual number: 1,004.

City removes wiggle room from rules for pay equity

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal
Paying women almost as much as men has for years given companies an edge in competing for city of Albuquerque contracts.
