ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry signed several pieces of legislation Thursday, including the bill that ends the city's controversial red-light program.

In October, residents voted against the red-light camera program in a non-binding ballot initiative. Earlier this month, the city council drafted the legislation to put an end to the camera system.
 

Target 7 was the first to uncover the financial failures of the red-light camera system, showing that the program cost taxpayers as much as $100,000 each month.

Other legislation signed by the mayor on Thursday:

• $100,000 from the Albuquerque Business Education Compact to plan and implement an "Anti-Heroin" initiative for children.
• $1.5 million grant for Mayor's Homeless Initiative "Albuquerque Heading Home"
• $900,00 in grants for the City's exciting Senior Programs including the "Senior Companion Program," "Foster a Grandparent Program" and the "Senior Volunteer Program"
