A definite potpourri of legislative topics for you today, starting with an update on proposals to deal with the learning loss caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We also talk about some movement regarding predatory lending practices in New Mexico, which spurred several hours of debate yesterday in the Roundhouse. Our partners at the Santa Fe Reporter have done a lot of great reporting on the issues that are wrapped up in that debate, and we encourage you to read up on that background when you can. We also referenced a report by the Albuquerque Journal s Dan McKay about the complicated topic of reforming medical malpractice laws in our state, and some pushback from industry folks around plans to reform liquor licensing practices. As always, let us know what you are seeing and hearing in this most unusual session, and join us again for another update tomorrow morning!

WICK Academy supporter Dan Mackay has apologised for his âintemperate languageâ after hitting out at what he called âa self-appointed eliteâ and accusing them of âtowering conceitâ.
Mr Mackay made the apology to former Academy chairman and local businessman Colin Stewart, the spokesman for a group of people who would like to see the £140,000 in the Wick Academy Development Fund (WADF) go to local community groups in line with the fundâs constitution.

DANVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) â It was a busy day at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville Tuesday as the regional medical center administered its first COVID-19 vaccine doses.
Last week, Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center received 190,000 calls about the COVID-19 vaccine. Hospital CEO and President Dan McKay says healthcare workers will spend one day a week administering the vaccine. We can do that safely. We know we are going to get 300 doses a week, that s pretty easy for us to do in one day. If we got more doses, we could get more doses, it s a matter of supply and demand, McKay said.
