NMiF producer Sarah Gustavus visits the SoloWorks program in Cibola County to learn more about a new job training program for remote workers. This story is part of the \u201cState of Change\u201d project, a collaboration with the Solutions Journalism Network and media partners across New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>New Mexico in Focus has been covering record-low snowpack this year on Our Land, our monthly environmental series on environmental issues. This week, correspondent Laura Paskus looks at what\u2019s happening now that snowmelt is not refilling the river\u2014and what new research tells us about where we are headed.<\/p>\n<p>NMiF host Gene Grant and the Line opinion panelists debate President Trump\u2019s call for a greater military presence at the border with Mexico, and Governor Martinez\u2019s decision to send New Mexico National Guard troops to support the U.S. Border Patrol. They also discuss 2018 political campaigns and contribution limits, and look at more controversy around a new UNM regent and a year-old athletic buyout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Host:<\/strong> Gene Grant<\/p>\n<p><strong>Correspondents:<\/strong> Sarah Gustavus &amp; Laura Paskus<\/p>\n<p><strong>Line Panelists:<\/strong><br \/>\nDan Foley, former House minority whip<br \/>\nSophie Martin, attorney<br \/>\nDan McKay, reporter for the Albuquerque Journal<br \/>\nLaura Sanchez-Riv\u00e9t, attorney at Cuddy &amp; McCarthy, LLP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, New Mexico in Focus looks at why some rural communities are encouraging remote work that doesn\u2019t require a commute.
