Topics

What goes on behind closed doors as Richard J. Berry prepares to take over the helm at Albuquerque City Hall? This week on New Mexico In Focus, an exclusive behind the scenes look, as NMiF Correspendent Gwyneth Doland spends a morning with Berry just weeks before his first day on the job. Then on our roundtable segment THE LINE, opinions and insight on the soon-to-be Mayor's biggest challenges, the future of public financing in the elections, not to mention the Governor's final verdict on the budget bill, and health care reform morphs into a battle over abortion rights. There’s also a special video treat, as we meet Daizy, the Rio Grande Zoo’s baby elephant. It’s an all-new NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS, Friday night at 7pm, here on KNME.
