Production Schedule Note

The print magazine, Capitol Report New Mexico, appears three times each year. From the time we go to press, it takes about four weeks to get the magazine in the mail. 

The two elements combine to mean that sometimes the headline events pass us by, cases in point being the death of Sen Ben Altamirano, December 27, and the withdrawal, December 30, of Rep. Joe Cervantes from from the race for Congress. The plan, now, is to have a tribute in the Spring capitol report to Sen. Altamirano's long service to the state.

Of necessity and inclination, Capitol Report isn't too worried about the headline events, but rather gives emphasis to the policy deliberations and information that turn into the headlines. Our attention to headline items comes here, in this blog, where we put a light on developments given short shrift elsewhere such as job growth.
