Part three of our “Brain Drain” Series, plus The Line Panel

This week, New Mexico in Focus continues its look at counteracting the “brain drain” of young, talented New Mexicans leaving the state for jobs and economic opportunities. In the third of this four-part series, Correspondent Gwyneth Doland sits down with young professionals to see what keeps them in New Mexico – or attracted them to return to their home state.

NMiF host Gene Grant and the Line panelists take on some of the top stories in news headlines this week, including how the race to become Albuquerque’s next mayor may be the most expensive ever in the city, and debate whether or not there is a glut of colleges in New Mexico.
