SANTA FE HAS ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE BAN ON SALES OF MINIATURE LIQUOR BOTTLES TAKES EFFECT. THE CITY COUNCIL PASSED THE MEASURE LAST (WED) NIGHT ON A 6-TO-2 VOTE. RON TRUJILLO WAS ONE OF THE TWO “NO” VOTES. HE TELLS US HE VOTED AGAINST IT MAINLY BECAUSE IT WAS POSED AS A WAY TO COMBAT LITTER … AND THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTS PUTTING TRASH RECEPTACLES ON EVERY CORNER.
TRUJILLO EXPECTS LAWYERS FOR THE LOCAL LIQUOR STORES TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THREATS TO SUE THE CITY OVER THE NEW ORDINANCE.
