Gov Pushes Special Session; Lobos Hoops Season

This week on New Mexico in Focus, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham tells us why she wants to call a special session centered on public safety. Senior Producer Lou DiVizio asks the governor why she thinks a special session is necessary and whether she has the votes to get what she wants passed. 

Correspondent Gwyneth Doland looks further at the proposed special session, as she hosts a roundtable discussion with UNM political science professor Timothy Krebs and ACLU-NM Policing Policy Advocate Daniel Williams. Gwyneth asks the two about the governor’s plan and the politics of public safety in New Mexico. 

Albuquerque Journal sportswriter Geoff Grammer stops by to look back at this year’s Lobo basketball season, as the men’s team made the NCAA tournament for the first time in a decade.
