We’re still struggling to pay our bills every month. But we experimented with investing money to publish The Santa Fe New Mexican’s legislative coverage because we viewed it as a unique opportunity. It gave NMPolitics.net’s readers access to hard-hitting and insightful reporting on the session and allowed us to focus on some other issues — including a New Mexico rancher<\/a> joining the occupation<\/a> of a national wildlife refuge<\/a> in Oregon and the death of former Las Cruces City Councilor<\/a> Miguel Silva<\/a>. We also devoted some time during the session to commentary<\/a> you weren’t going to find<\/a> anywhere else<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And NMPolitics.net has\u00a0been more frequently publishing in-depth articles from sources including ProPublica<\/a>, The Center for Public Integrity<\/a>, the Texas Tribune<\/a> and Frontera NorteSur<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The result? NMPolitics.net is growing into a news website full of insightful articles and commentaries about local, state, national and even international political and government issues.<\/p>\n
