Good morning, Santa Fe.

Santa Fe's Arthur Sze became the U.S. poet laureate on Sept.

1 – replacing Ada Limón who followed Joy Harjo – and will serve as the nation's leading poetry official.

Former emergency management director Brian Williams said he was pushed out of his job — he alleged that the city continually underinvested in emergency management, leaving it unprepared for major disasters and power shutoffs.

During the Q&A, Santa Fe City Council candidates explained that addressing homelessness is a top priority for the next council, and many residents expect better services for the homeless — a challenge the new team must tackle.

Candidates outlined plans to review and improve current support systems for affected individuals.
