New Mexico GOP hopefuls launch early ads for US House seat

AIRPORT GRANTS-NEW MEXICO
New Mexico airports to share almost $2M in federal funds

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — Airports in several New Mexico communities will share nearly $2 million in federal funds to make runway infrastructure improvements. The Federal Aviation Administration announced the grants this week. The money includes $750,000 for the Roswell International Air Center as a revenue guarantee and for a marketing program to facilitate direct service to Denver via United Airlines. Members of New Mexico's congressional delegation applauded the funding, saying the state's regional airports serve as critical lifelines for rural communities and their economies. Gallup, Carlsbad and Portales were among the other communities to get grants.

ENDANGERED MOUSE-LAWSUIT
Groups want cows corralled to protect jumping mouse habitat

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Environmentalists say U.S. land managers are failing to keep livestock and wild horses out of streams and other wetlands in Arizona's White Mountains, resulting in damage to habitat that a rare species of mouse depends on. They are suing in federal court. The battle over the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse has been ongoing for years. The mouse was listed as an endangered species in 2014. That prompted the U.S. Forest Service to fence off streams and watering holes in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado to protect habitat thought to be ideal. Forest officials said Friday that work is continuing and disputed the allegations.

New Mexico to host conference for western pecan growers

LAS CRUCES, N.M.

This will be the 54th year for the gathering, which draws growers from New Mexico, Arizona, West Texas and California. Experts from New Mexico State and the University of Georgia will be among the presenters. New Mexico led the nation in pecan production in 2019, followed by Georgia.

TV-WHO KILLED MALCOLM X?
Netflix series explores the assassination of Malcolm X

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A new Netflix series is tackling questions around the 1965 assassination of civil rights icon Malcolm X. "Who Killed Malcolm X?" dives into questions surrounding his accused killers and allegations of a botched investigation. The series follows an activist-scholar who revisits the assassination through interviews and archives. He argues that at least two of the men charged with the slaying were innocent and that the real killers got away. Malcolm X was killed in Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom by gunmen who opened fire during a speaking engagement in 1965. Friday marked the 55th anniversary of his death.
