For the first time in 8 years, Albuquerque has a new mayor.  And, it's also the first time in 25 years that the city’s leader is a Republican.  This week on NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS, we break down Richard Berry's big victory, and its implications moving forward. Then, THE LINE panelists sound off on the municipal elections, and the growing budget battle in Santa Fe.  Local educators are even getting involved, but will their unique protest have any impact on lawmakers' decisions.
