Lou DiVizio opens the show with an update heading into the final week of the 2024 Legislative Session and shares some other headlines from around the state.

Then, Correspondent Gwyneth Doland catches up with elected officials in Santa Fe and speaks to Democratic state representatives Andrea Romero, G. Andrés Romero and Sen. Benny Shendo Jr., about alternative energy and school graduation bills.

Later, Lou sits down with Source New Mexico Editor Shaun Griswold and Republican former state representative Justine Fox-Young to discuss which bills have passed, which haven't and what still might get through the Roundhouse. First, the roundtable examines the fate of the governor's favored public safety bills. In the second half of their discussion, Lou asks why the governor's public education goals are receiving bipartisan pushback from lawmakers who represent small school districts.
