Pueblo, SF County Leaders Against LANL Power Line

This week on New Mexico in Focus, Our Land’s Laura Paskus sits down with a historian, Pueblo members and Santa Fe County leaders who oppose federal plans to build a new transmission line across the Caja del Rio to Los Alamos National Laboratory. Speaking with Santa Fe County Commissioner Anna Hansen and historian Hilario Romero, Laura asks what harm this transmission line will cause to the area. Then, Laura talks with Mark Mitchell, former governor of the Pueblo of Tesuque, about government-to-government consultation and how federal officials have handled input from the pueblo. 

Artie Pepin, outgoing director of the state’s Administrative Office of the Courts, looks back with Executive Producer Jeff Proctor at his 18 years as a leader in our state’s justice system.
