KOB 4 Albuquerque
New Mexico is bracing for its hottest temperatures of the year, with readings expected well into the 90s and 100s [1], while fire activity has also been a concern — a blaze in San Juan County prompted evacuations before being contained to 2 acres [3], and arson is suspected in a fire that damaged the Interfaith Bible Center three months ago [2]. On the local economy and health front, Lovelace Health System laid off 43 employees citing rising costs and a challenging policy environment [17], and examiners recommended that state regulators reverse Blackstone's $400 million purchase of PNM stock [20]. In other New Mexico news, a fatal overnight shooting in downtown Albuquerque left one dead with no suspects in custody [9], and Santa Fe's Meow Wolf is set to be featured in an upcoming episode of 'The Simpsons' [7].
