NMIF talks with the series organizer, Jack Loeffler, aural historian and author of \u0093Thinking Like a Watershed,\u0094 and author John Nichols, whose novels often include storylines around water issues, about the series and what the future looks like for water in New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>In the One-on-One segment, NMIF Producer Megan Kamerick sits down with author TaraShea Nesbit, whose new novel, \u0093The Wives of Los Alamos,\u0094 explores the lives of the women who accompanied their scientist husbands to \u0093The Hill,\u0094 the nickname for the secret city where the first atomic bomb was developed during World War II. Hampered by a lack of infrastructure and housing, and left in the dark about what their husbands were actually doing, these women bring a unique perspective to a crucial period of history, as well as voices that have been largely absent in that narrative.<\/p>\n<p>The Line opinion panel looks at legislation signed and vetoed by Governor Susana Martinez, including the state budget. Martinez vetoed about $27 million worth of proposed spending but included pay raises for many state employees and entry-level teachers, as well as money for water projects and more funds for some early childhood programs.<\/p>\n<p>The group also delves into the battle to land the giant $5 billion Tesla Motors factory, that would build the electric car\u0092s batteries, a competition that pits New Mexico against three other states for a projected 6,500 jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The panel also looks at the latest developments at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, since a radiation leak was detected there last month.<\/p>\n<p>GUESTS:<br \/>\nJack Loeffler, Aural Historian<br \/>\nTaraShea Nesbit, Author<br \/>\nJohn Nichols, Author<\/p>\n<p>LINE PANELISTS:<br \/>\nTom Garrity, The Garrity Group<br \/>\nSophie Martin, Attorney<br \/>\nLaura Sanchez, New Mexico Green Chamber of Commerce<\/p>\n<p>LINE GUEST PANELIST:<br \/>\nJames Monteleone, Albuquerque Journal<\/p>\n<p>HOST\/COMMENTATOR: Gene Grant<\/p>\n<p>The Producer of NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS is Megan Kamerick.
