Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson is making political waves once again, this time on the national stage.  He's making the rounds and making headlines as the honorary chairman of a new political organization known as the "Our America Initiative". But does that mean he's laying the groundwork for a presidential run in 2012?  NMiF Correspondent Sarah Gustavus asks him that question and more in an exclusive one-on-one interview.  

Plus, The Director of the White House Initiative on Education Excellence for Hispanic Americans talks only to NMiF about the newly proposed changes to No Child Left Behind.  Then, our roundtable panelists weigh in on the midway point of the legislative session, more turmoil inside the University of New Mexico, and a proposed budget boost for the state research labs.
