New Mexico in Focus Continues Election Coverage, Retirement Plans

This week on New Mex­ico in Focus, pan­elists con­tinue their in-depth dis­cus­sion on issues New Mex­i­cans will find on the bal­lot this fall. Included this elec­tion cycle are gen­eral oblig­a­tion bonds, which would mean mil­lions of dol­lars to the state’s pub­lic col­leges. The panel exam­ines the costs and ben­e­fits of these measures.

New Mex­ico PBS’ one hour pub­lic affairs pro­gram, New Mex­ico in Focus airs Fri­days at 7 p.m. and Sun­days at 7 a.m. on Chan­nel 5.1. It can also be seen on New Mex­ico PBS Chan­nel 9.1 on Sat­ur­days at 5 p.m.

The panel also exam­ines state leg­isla­tive races, explores the options avail­able to pub­lic retire­ment plans and their future and Martha Burk returns with a look at pay equity in regards to the recent pres­i­den­tial debates.
