This Week on New Mexico In Focus

According to a special “kids count” report released by New Mexico Voices for Children, New Mexico’s population was undercounted in the two-thousand census by nearly thirty six thousand individuals, which meant New Mexico received $110 million less in federal funds than it should have.

On this week's program, David Alire Garcia interviews three people who can help us understand why the undercount happened and what steps are being done to make the next count more accurate -- as well as why this issue is so important to federal programs, like Medicaid.

Then Gene Grant and The Line panelists take on Barack Obama’s decision to break from public financing for his presidential campaign, the controversial early release of Elton John Richard, and many other topical topics. Plus, two special short videos: what will you do with your economic stimulus check, and a trip to White Sands under a full moon.
