This week on NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS, Albuquerque\u2019s mayor and chief of police sit down to talk about the city\u2019s reaction to a string of shootings by police that began in 2010. Both the chief and mayor have been scrutinized as shooting totals rise.<\/p>\n
The Line opinion panel convenes to talk about Bernalillo County Commissioner Michael Wiener\u2019s controversial photographs taken in a Filipino red light district well-known for its role in the sex trade. Republicans statewide have called on Wiener to resign. The commissioner refuses.<\/p>\n
Plus, Sunland Park is a seemingly rudderless ship in Southern New Mexico, adrift in a sea of allegations and criminal charges against a roster of public officials. A newly appointed mayor was prevented from taking office after a legal opinion argued the city council met illegally when it named him to the city\u2019s top post.<\/p>\n
And just what does the Internet giant Google have a right to know as they cruise the streets under the guise of mapping the globe? The Line looks at new concerns raised in a federal investigation into data snatching.<\/p>\n
