This page takes in Albuquerque city hall and the Bernalillo County commission, Albuquerque Public Schools and the federal, health care and research employers central to the local economy. From Nob Hill and Old Town to the Northeast Heights, Barelas and Uptown, neighborhood coverage runs across the city and extends into Sandoval County, Valencia County and Torrance County where a story crosses the line. Kirtland Air Force Base and the national laboratories in the broader region give federal employment and research funding a weight in Albuquerque's economy that shapes local decisions on workforce development and land use. Public safety and the city's approach to homelessness and substance use have become the most persistently debated subjects in local government coverage over recent years.
