We'll certainly have more coverage as news warrants as we learn what we can about how this deal affects Albuquerque and the state as a whole.

[ABQBizManagingEditor @ABQBizME]

Incredibly busy today with the news that Albuquerque's PNM Resources reached a deal to sell its outstanding shares for $4.3 billion.

I have to hand it to @ABQBizIntel & @ABQBizTech who delivered great reporting and told our audience what this means for New Mexico and PNM.

[ABQBizManagingEditor @ABQBizME]

And here's the main story with the news of the deal that we have updated throughout the day.

@larrybehrens @GovMLG Thank you... It’s an interesting story to tell.

Anonymized data could paint a really interesting picture of the challenges, the successes and the responsibilities we all have.

Restrictions to limit the spread of COVID-19 infections hit food service, hospitality & retail businesses especially hard, leaving millions across the country unemployed or on furlough.

But these businesses are not among the top recipients of PPP loans according to SBA data.

[ABQBizManagingEditor @ABQBizME]

@MikeSmithofABQ Curious - was this a recent experience or a while back?

[ABQBizManagingEditor @ABQBizME]

Have you filed for unemployment benefits with the state of New Mexico?

Did you/do you work in food, hospitality or hotels? Know someone?

I’d like to hear your story — and more importantly — how you are doing.

[ABQBizManagingEditor @ABQBizME]
