- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- This week on New Mexico in Focus, Gene Grant and the Line Opinion Panel take a close look at a bill that would recreate a statewide board of education. Our panelists explore whether the partially elected body would be more or less effective than an appointed official. Gene and the Line also examine the Governor’s recent announcement, revamping the state’s Children youth and Families Department. The number one question at hand: will these changes help create a safer environment for children in state custody?
With less than 30 days left in the legislature’s 60-day session, Gene catches up with the Albuquerque Journal’s Dan McKay who’s been covering the Roundhouse for decades. McKay explains how things have changed since the pandemic years and if we should believe the bipartisan gestures we’ve seen to this point in both chambers.

- Description
- 02.24.23 – Under a Democratic governor, the state of New Mexico has been moving forward on commitments to address climate change. But the state is also the second largest oil producing state in the nation, accounting for more than 11 percent of U.S. crude production. That development, particularly in the Permian Basin, is responsible for vast amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, both in the production phase itself and in the downstream use of petroleum. Youth activist Jonathan Juarez-Alonzo talks with Our Land’s Laura Paskus about what a new coalition is asking of New Mexico’s political leaders.

- Description
- This week on New Mexico in Focus, Gene Grant and the Line Opinion Panel react to the Santa Fe District Attorney’s Office’s announcement of charges in the ‘Rust’ shooting tragedy. Actor Alec Baldwin and the film’s armorer both face involuntary manslaughter charges. The panel also discusses a debate that’s been reignited in the state legislature over our state’s pretrial detention process. Specifically, legislators are expected to take up a tool used to analyze the likelihood of a defendant showing up to court and/or committing a new crime if released. Finally, our panelists return to the issue of modernizing our state legislature. A recent poll showed a majority of New Mexicans support changes like paying lawmakers, hiring more legislative staff & lengthening session, but should term limits be under consideration as well?
