It was a bad day for good government Friday.
Faced with a choice between the people of New Mexico who she has taken a vow to serve and the big-moneyed lobbyists who have been in her ear for the last six years, Gov.

Paulo, a painter, photographer, and music jockey, shared insights into his current projects in Las Cruces and reflected on the journey that brought him here.
Today, we talk with Rorie Measure/Co-founder and President and Jude Hickey/Executive Director of a local non-profit organization called The Children's Reading Alliance.

CRA brings reading and the benefits of reading, into the forefront of the lives of parents, children, families, and our broader community.

Molly shared her remarkable journey — from moving to Texas from West Africa at the age of seven, to developing her skills on the court, achieving success with the Aggies, and looking ahead to her future in the sport.
