RESOLVE ALBUQUERQUE’S CRIME PROBLEMS AND THE ENTIRE STATE WILL BENEFIT. THAT’S WHAT HOUSE SPEAKER BRIAN EGOLF SAYS AS HE BEGINS HIS SECOND YEAR AS HOUSE SPEAKER AT THE LEGISLATURE THAT STARTS TUESDAY. EGOLF TELLS OUR NEWS PARTNER, KOB TV, THIS IS THE YEAR TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO ALBUQUERQUE’S CRIME, WHICH HE SAYS WILL HELP THE REST OF THE STATE MOVE FORWARD AS WELL.
HOWEVER, EGOLF ALSO SAYS JUST PUTTING LAWS ON THE BOOKS WON’T BE ENOUGH IF THERE AREN’T SUFFICIENT POLICE OFFICERS ON THE STREETS TO MAKE ARRESTS AND TAKE CASES TO TRIAL.
