Performers in Taos took part in a tribute to Taos beat-generation poet Peter Rabbit last week. KSFR’s Taos Correspondent Melody Romancito has the story. 

Last Month, “Nerdwallet,” a data analysis website focused on personal finance released a report that found Santa Fe to be the best place for women owned businesses. I asked Nerd wallet analyst Sreekar Jasthi, to describe the criteria and findings of the report that found for women, Santa Fe is heads above more than 280 other cities.

The often-quoted figure that women earn 74 cents to a man’s dollar is even lower for Hispanic women, African Americans and other minorities around the country and here in New Mexico. In fact it goes against an Equal Pay law implemented in New Mexico in 2013. Today marks Equal Pay day, the day that symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. In honor of that, Mary Charlotte of the Santa Fe Radio Café on KSFR spoke with Pamelya Herndon of the Southwest Women's Law Center about how far we have left to go in realizing the goal of equal pay for equal work.
