City of ABQ Celebrates MLK (twice) while leaving kids out in cold

There is absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating Martin Luther King and his legacy. In fact, we applaud the City of Albuquerque and State of New Mexico for it. But, in a world in which customer service mattered to the City would it really make sense for the City’s community centers to be closed Saturday through Monday? The centers are already closed every Sunday, but for them to be closed both on Saturday AND Monday in observance of the Holiday when kids are at home and looking for things to do is just crazy.

You can bet that private businesses which actually have a financial interest in serving their customers will be open. It would be nice if taxpayer-funded activities for youth at least made some effort.
