Statewide reporting runs across the legislature and the governor's office, elections, the courts and the oil, gas and federal research sectors that generate most of the state's revenue. Coverage extends through Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Santa Fe and Rio Rancho and the rural and tribal communities spread across a large and geographically varied state. New Mexico's federal laboratories and military installations add a research and defense dimension to the economy that shapes local employment and federal appropriations debates in ways specific to the state. Water rights in an arid region and the governance of tribal lands are the two structural subjects that most consistently run beneath the state's longest disputes.
