Who Will Fix New Mexico's Mental Health Problems?
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Lawmakers agree the system isn't working, especially when it comes to how courts handle people with mental illness. A new law promises major reforms and millions in investment toward behavioral health in New Mexico. But what will actually change, and when? This week on the New Mexico News Insiders Podcast, Chris and Gabby speak with two insiders tasked with leading reform efforts about what this law means for judges, access to treatment, and the long road ahead. The state put about $100 million into the behavioral health trust fund in the session,' explained Sarah Jacobs, Deputy Director for the Administrative Office of the Courts. 'It's my understanding that they intend to continue to put into that fund.' Listen to the full discussion above to hear what is being prioritized with the new legislation, and who will have a seat at the table during the reform process.

Will Albuquerque's ‘Rail Trail' Be A Thing?
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – For years, New Mexicans have heard promises of 'revitalization' and 'redevelopment' in downtown Albuquerque—but is it actually happening? This week on the New Mexico News Insiders Podcast, Chris and Gabby sit down with Terry Brunner, Director of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency, to pull back the curtain on how government is working with the private sector to incentivize development. Brunner details housing plans, local business buy-in for increased security, and some long-game, multimillion-dollar projects like the 'Rail Trail.' What is it exactly? And when could people see the Rail Trail in real life? Right now, it's hard to walk from Old Town to the Bosque trail; it's not an easy path,' Brunner explains. 'So it's just logical. You want to build a nicer connector that takes you from Old Town to the Bio Park to the Bosque Trail. Like, that's common sense.' Two 'simple' goals for downtown include adding more shade and improving parking. Brunner also shares what he's learned from visiting other major cities, and draws on the overall mission to attract more people to downtown. 'Getting bodies downtown is really the key to everything,' Brunner explained. 'That changes the dynamic so much. But when you're the only person Thursday at 3 p.m., it feels lonely and weird and not that great.' Listen to the full discussion above to hear what is being prioritized over the next few years and how much it'll cost.

Incompetent to Stand Trial? Arrest, Release, Repeat
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – When someone is deemed 'incompetent' to stand trial, how does New Mexico's criminal justice system respond? It's the subject of a recent Larry Barker investigation that looked at cases involving hundreds of arrests, only for the offenders to be released back onto the streets. People who are mentally ill are committing crimes across the state, getting arrested, and their cases are dismissed without any repercussions or assistance. This week on the New Mexico News Insiders Podcast, Barker, along with University of New Mexico Criminal Law Professor Joshua Kastenberg, join Chris and Gabby to discuss the complexities of cases like this, and why the justice system isn't set up to help the incompetent suspects or their victims. Why isn't there a better alternative for people deemed incompetent to stand trial? How will new legislation impact cases like this? Those questions and more are discussed in the full interview above.
