- Description
- This week on New Mexico in Focus, the Line Opinion Panel reviews the state’s new draft plan to address the Yazzie Martinez lawsuit. Among other things, that plan sets new goals for graduation rates, along with math and science proficiency. Panelists will discuss whether the plan goes far enough to bridge the gaps in education access highlighted in the 2018 lawsuit. Plus, new information from a legislative economist shows the state could be in for even more surplus revenue than expected. Our Panel brainstorms how the money could be most effectively used, and how our reliance on oil and gas revenue impacts the state’s shift towards renewable energy. The Panel also discusses the now record-setting wildfire burning near Las Vegas. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham wants the federal government to cover all the costs for all our fires, but is that a realistic request?

- Upending the West’s water narratives (Full Interview)
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- Andrew Curley is a professor at the University of Arizona’s School of Geography, Development & Environment. His research focuses on the “everyday incorporation of Indigenous nations into colonial economies” including fossil fuel development and water development in the western United States. In conversation with correspondent Laura Paskus, he talks about the coal extraction and water development that fueled the Southwest’s biggest cities and irrigation districts and left the Navajo Nation and other tribes with environmental impacts—and without critical water infrastructure. He also challenges myths around water scarcity and the narrative of climate catastrophe.

- 5.6.22 – The Rio Grande Sun was established in October of 1956. It was started by two couples dedicated to covering Espanola and Rio Arriba County. Under the leadership of the Trapp family, the paper gained national attention for its investigative journalism and dedication to watchdog journalism. Recently, Editor and Publisher Robert Trapp made the decision to sell the paper to an ownership group that includes two former Republican Party Chairmen. Host Gene Grant talks with Robert Trapp about his decision to sell, and what it means for local news coverage in Northern New Mexico. To help explore some of the historical context, this segment also includes excerpts from the Ben Daitz documentary “The Sun Never Sets,” which followed the paper and its workers during the early days of the internet. That documentary originally aired on NMPBS in 2013 and will be re-broadcast on May 19th at 7pm.
