New Public Regulation Commission Rules and the APD Topics on New Mexico in Focus

This week on New Mex­ico in Focus, Fred Nathan of Think New Mex­ico sits down to talk about new qual­i­fi­ca­tions required for the Pub­lic Reg­u­la­tion Com­mis­sion as a result of vot­ers over­whelm­ingly pass­ing a Con­sti­tu­tional amend­ment to cre­ate them.

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

Also this week, pan­elists dis­cuss the for­mal inves­ti­ga­tion of the Albu­querque Police Depart­ment by the U.S. Jus­tice Depart­ment, the fall­out from Gov. Susana Martinez’s effort to offer state run health care and a pro­posal to allow mater­nity leave for high school students.
