Critics of Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller have filed a new ethics complaint alleging that the Democrat violated the city s election laws by using a city employee for campaign purposes.
The complaint filed Tuesday by supporters of Sheriff Manuel Gonzales’ bid for mayor also alleges Keller’s reelection campaign illegally accepted campaign seed money from six non-city residents in violation of Albuquerque s Open and Ethical Elections Code.
Much of the complaint centers on the actions of Justin Cheney, president of the city firefighters’ union, who allegedly visited city-owned properties and asked firefighters to sign $5 donation cards on Keller’s behalf, the Albuquerque Journal reported.

New Mexico Utility Seeks To Recover Spike In Gas Costs -
By Susan Montoya Bryan, Associated Press
New Mexico Gas Co. wants to recover costs associated with dramatic spikes in natural gas prices over the winter.
The utility said Tuesday it has filed an application with the state Public Regulation Commission. The proposal calls for spreading the recovery of the costs through December 2023 in order to minimize the effects on customers monthly bills.
If approved by regulators, the average increase for customers would be about $5.70 per month, or about 10%.
Utility officials say the costs faced in February were unprecedented and the market conditions forced the company to pay higher prices.
