NMiF Senior Producer Lou DiVizio introduces the show this week with a recap Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's decisions on proposed legislation from the Roundhouse. The Governor made some serious changes to HB 547, what had been a wide-ranging tax passage. After the Governor's line item vetoes, the package was pared down to a $500 per-person tax rebate, an expansion to the state’s child tax credit and film tax credit programs, and a gross receipts tax deduction – specifically for health care practitioners.

Then, Our Land Senior Producer Laura Paskus speaks with Jerry Redfern, reporter at Capital and Main about some recent methane pollution fines and the role his reporting played in making the EPA aware of those infractions.

Gene Grant and The Line Opinion Panel react to Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller’s announcement that the city's police force will be smaller than promised. Gene asks our panelists whether we should be focused on the number of officers, or how they’re being used.

Gene and the panel also dissect the Santa Fe District Attorney’s decision to withdraw from the deadly Rust filmset shooting case.

Finally, Executive Producer Jeff Proctor catches up with longtime women's advocate Martha Burk for a chat — on Masters week, no less — about what’s changed and what hasn’t in the two decades since her protest over exclusionary membership policies at Augusta National.
