KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · April 9, 2021

On this episode of New Mexico in Focus, many of us have vaccines on our mind this month. In addition to that, an interview with Dr. Tracie Collins will update you about New Mexico’s successes and stumbles. With the Line Opinion Panel, we will also take a different look at the Rio Grande with an innovative art installation that explores the deep history of the river. We start with the Governor’s action on bills from the regular session, what lawmakers got done, and what might have missed its chance. Guests: Sophie Martin (Attorney), Dan Foley (Former New Mexico House Minority Whip), Julie Ann Grimm (Santa Fe Reproter), Dr. Tracie Collins (New Mexico Department of Health Secretary), Dagmar Llewellyn (Hydrologist, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation), Gary Essliner (Treasurer-Manager of Elephant Butte Irrigation District), Marisa Demarco (Co-Creator and Journalist), Dylan McLaughlin (Co-Creator), and Jessica Zeglin (Co-Creator).
