May 25 - Mayor Gonzales Defends Verde Fund Ahead Of SF City Council Vote

Tonight the Santa Fe City Council will vote on two important items: First, the city budget for the coming fiscal year; and second, a proposal that some have called the mayor’s “Pet Project,” to establish a fund to support projects targeting the interconnected issues of poverty and Santa Fe’s green future. Tuesday afternoon Mayor Javier Gonzales gave a press conference in front of City Hall to answer questions about the fund. KSFR’s Kate Powell was there, and brings us this report.
