(AP Photo/Susan Montoya Bryan) Nick Maniatis, who ran the state’s film office before going to work for Netflix, spoke to a group of hundreds of business leaders and elected officials who were gathered Thursday in Albuquerque.

This year, we will do 1,000 … [Read more...] about Los Gatos-Based Netflix Leads Rush to Build Moviemaking Mecca in New Mexico

The next judicial election on your local ballot will no longer have candidates with hyped-up labels like “hard-core gang prosecutor” and “government corruption prosecutor.” Under a new state law effective in January, judicial candidates will be limited to formal ballot titles, of three words or less, that describe only their official positions, such as “deputy district attorney,” or “attorney at law.” “Permitting exaggerated and misleading designations on official ballot materials does a disservice to the public,” said state Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, whose bill, SB235, was signed Thursday by Gov.

HENDERSON, Nev. — A sign on the site of the practice facility and headquarters being built here for an NFL team reads: “Future Home of the Las Vegas Raiders.” Not that Teddy Clifton needs the reminder.

Features of the Henderson facility include three outdoor practice fields, one and a half indoor practice fields, a performance center with amenities for players, and office space. Construction began in January and is projected to be completed by next July. Unlike the Raiders’ new … [Read more...] about In Henderson, Raiders’ future headquarters reflects a fast-growing city
