This week on\u00a0New Mexico in Focus, <\/i>producer Sarah Gustavus sits down with two local experts to hear what education programs and strategies are showing the greatest promise to raise graduation rates and better prepare students for college, careers, and life after high school. \u00a0How can lawmakers use the latest research to inform decisions they make during this legislative session?<\/p>\n

Producer Sarah Gustavus also talks with two members of the New Mexico SAFE Coalition, which is producing report cards on crime legislation during the 2017 session.\u00a0 And correspondent Gwyneth Doland sits down with a board member from the local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists to talk about their Access-O-Meter. These segments are part of the People, Power and Democracy coverage, which examines legislation that addresses ethics, accountability and transparency in the New Mexico state government.<\/p>\n

And NMiF<\/i> host Gene Grant and the Line panelists debate some of the latest stories in the news, including the newest Homeland Security Department memos that greatly expand immigration enforcement priorities, and the budget plan proposed by New Mexico\u2019s democratic lawmakers. They also look at progress this year on a constitutional amendment to establish an independent ethics commission in New Mexico.<\/p>\n
