This week on New Mexico in Focus, a new report shows that the state’s film industry is starting to recover after several years of declines. Host Nash Jones sits down with two industry workers, as well as an arts and culture editor, to discuss how that workforce continues to struggle despite those positive signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent candidate Ken Miyagishima dropped out of the governor’s race this month after his campaign failed to meet the required 14,200 signatures to make the general election ballot and a state district judge dismissed his court challenge over the requirement.
