Weekend Update: Albuquerque Mother Jailed, Teachers Lose Raises, Workforce Board Meets
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, February 14th.
We're starting this morning with a developing story that's shaken our community. An Albuquerque mother remains in custody after authorities say she set a fire in her apartment with her two young children inside earlier this week. According to the Albuquerque Police Department, officers responded to an apartment complex near Central Avenue and Juan Tabo Boulevard on February 7th after neighbors reported smoke and concerns about the woman's behavior. Body camera footage shows a bathtub engulfed in flames as officers searched the unit. Both children were able to escape and were taken to a local hospital, where staff discovered they were covered in lighter fluid. The mother claims it was an accident while cooking, but a judge ruled Friday that she's too dangerous to be released pending trial. What's particularly concerning is that family members had reached out to both police and the Children Youth and Family Department multiple times before this incident, expressing serious worries about her mental health. According to CYFD, they received three reports between February 5th and 7th and responded each time, but the mother refused to cooperate with investigators. The children are now in the care of family members, and a GoFundMe page has been set up to support them as they recover from this traumatic experience.
On the state level, we've got news that's affecting teachers and public employees across New Mexico, including right here in Albuquerque. The state budget draft has cut the planned one percent cost of living raises for teachers, firefighters, police, and other public sector workers. It's the first year under Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham that these employees won't receive an annual raise. According to the New Mexico chapter of the American Federation of Teachers, last year these workers received a three percent increase, so this marks a significant shift. Officials say they had to find nearly 62 million dollars in recurring capacity elsewhere in the budget due to funding concerns. However, there's some offsetting news. A bill advancing through the legislature would require employers to pay 80 percent of health insurance premiums for educators, bringing them in line with other state employees and potentially offsetting some of the impact from the missing raises.
Looking ahead, the State Workforce Development Board has a meeting scheduled for February 26th at 2 p.m. at the Mid-Region Council of Governments if you're interested in statewide employment initiatives.
