Gov reviews Santa Fe mag court applicantsTen residents have applied to replace Santa Fe County Magistrate Dev Atma Khalsa, the Santa Fe New Mexican reports. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office has been interviewing the candidates and expects to finish doing so this week, with a final decision expected by July 7. Khalsa formally agreed last month to step down from his position following his arrest Feb. 26 on charges of drunken driving.
