This week on New Mexico in Focus, senior producer Matt Grubs speaks with Secretary Bill McCamley of Workforce Solutions about the state\u2019s expanded response for workers who have been laid off because of actions to stop the spread of the new coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Grubs also follows up with Our Land correspondent Laura Paskus, who broke the news this week that the Pentagon has identified four more possible contamination sites as she continues to investigate toxic chemicals in groundwater near military bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correspondent Antonia Gonzales talks with President Jonathan Nez of the Navajo Nation and National Indian Health Board CEO Stacy Bohlen about how they are dealing with scarce resources in their response to virus outbreaks on tribal lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gene Grant and The Line opinion panel discuss Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham\u2019s recent statewide \u201cstay-at-home\u201d order, what it means for people being laid off or furloughed, and what it means for the businesses that employed them. The Line also debates the best way to go about a legislative special session that is surely inevitable. For their final segment, The Line panelists look toward the possibility of holding an all-mail primary election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
