Film Set Safety and Municipal Elections Preview | 10.29.21

Days away from the upcoming election, our Line Opinion Panel discusses the mayoral races in the state’s two largest cities. What role is fundraising playing in both races? Plus, they react to a recent poll from the Albuquerque Journal showing a majority of residents opposed to the bond proposal to build a soccer stadium. How did this become such a polarizing issue? A group of interested individuals offer their best pitches for and against the Downtown Albuquerque Multi-Use stadium proposal, which is also on the ballot next Tuesday.  And, one week after the deadly, accidental shooting on the set of the film “Rust,” members of our Line Opinion Panel share their thoughts on the tragedy. How did it happen, what should change to make sure it never happens again, and will this have a negative impact on the future of filmmaking in New Mexico? Line Opinion Panelists: Rebecca Latham, CEO, Girl Scouts of NM Eric Griego, former state senator Tom Garrity, The Garrity Group Guests: Cindy Nava, NM United For All Consultant Ramona Malczynski, Stop the Stadium Brook Bassan, Albuquerque City Councilor (District 4) Cynthia Borrego, Albuquerque City Council President (District 5) Sherri Burr, UNM Law School Professor Emerita
