Report shows minorities driving rural growth in NM, rest of western U.S.
In the West, minorities are helping boost populations in rural areas, including in New Mexico.

Committee clears Luján on ethics complaint
The U.S. House Committee on Ethics unanimously dismissed an ethics complaint against Rep. Ben Ray Luján.
The committee made the announcement Tuesday, and a spokesman for Luján praised the decision shortly after. In a statement, Joe Shoemaker said the allegations came from a “ politically motivated complaint, filed by a partisan outside group.” He added that Luján is “committed to abiding by House Rules and will continue to do so in the future.”
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a conservative group, complained that Luján conducted campaign or political activity from the House floor, which is prohibited, after he sent a fundraising email highlighting a...

A man walking with a woman along the north side of the road, near 3010 E. Highway 66, stepped into oncoming traffic Thursday evening. The man was struck and killed by a white SUV.
