Albuquerque s former police chief is accusing top city officials of violating open record laws and a state statute meant to protect whistleblowers.
Michael Geier and his former assistant, Paulette Diaz, filed a complaint against the city in state district court late Wednesday. It specifically references Mayor Tim Keller and Chief Administrative Officer Sarita Nair, saying they micromanaged the police department and undermined Geier s efforts to address crime and comply with federal mandates related to police reforms.
After Geier was forced to resign last September, Keller s administration defended the decision, saying the chief wasn t doing his job.

The first performance over the weekend included an unmasked cast and a masked audience. State restrictions on performances and crowds lifted last month, but the opera house is still playing it safe. The performance of “The Marriage of Figaro” was sold out, with some seats empty for distancing.Cedar Attanasio/APShow MoreShow Less
