Today in ABQ and New Mexico…

No more electric buses? Our Jesse Jones on the City Desk beat got a tip that the city’s electric bus fleet – launched to big fanfare a few years back – had been parked for almost 10 months. Why? We sent Jesse and Photojournalist Roberto Rosales to find out.

Some ABQ residents are about to get less frequent recycling service. Are you one of them?

Albuquerque is cleaning up and rolling out the red carpet for those early Balloon Fiesta guests. Our guide to the best off-field adventures is on stands already to help your guests make the most of their trip.

Politics in The Paper.

Guest Commentary By Brian Colón, NM Managing Partner, Singleton Schreiber — FEMA has spent years arguing that the law Congress passed to compensate Hermit’s Peak-Calf Canyon (HPCC) Fire victims only covers losses with a price tag, for example a home, a fence, a business, or a medical bill. Everything else, in FEMA’s reading, doesn’t count. Brian Colón is the managing partner […]

This newsletter can’t fit everything we love about #NM. Get more content first online.

Think ABQ needs news that inspires community action, not report what already happened? So do we.
Unlike other papers that hide important news from a city council meeting and features in arts & culture behind paywalls and popups, The Paper. is always free because we believe information about how our city works belongs to everyone – not just those who can afford to pay.

To keep it free and pay our journalists and contributors a living wage, we rely on donations from readers who can afford to help. Advertisers and sponsors pay to deliver it, but readers fund our stories.

If you found something in today’s paper that inspired you to do something, tip the journalists who wrote it.
