In a year of tough calls, the most difficult for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham was the one on the phone with her mother.
âYou left me here,â 80-year-old Sonja Lujan said from the assisted living facility in Albuquerque where she lives.
âI didnât leave you, Mom,â Lujan Grisham assured her mother, whose memory is deteriorating.
The governor then had to remind Lujan of the ongoing situation many would rather forget: the coronavirus pandemic, which has upended New Mexicansâ lives, crippled the stateâs economy, pushed its health care system to the brink and claimed the lives of more than 300,000 Americans.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. California-based SpinLaunch Inc. is expanding its operations at Spaceport America in southern New Mexico, where it plans to test new technology to literally fling rockets into space.
The company already built a $7 million, 10,000-square-foot facility at the Spaceport after announcing plans last year to conduct all testing there on its new technology. Now, the company is doubling down, with plans to hire an additional 59 people and invest another $46 million over 10 years.
