This week's "interview" is a little different. This week Paul and Wally talk taxes. What is their purpose? Why are they such a priority right now for the Rio Grande Foundation? Which taxes do more or less economic harm? Why is the GRT such a "unique" issue here in New Mexico? Paul is doing a more thorough presentation on taxes in New Mexico at an event THIS Saturday.

On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss the latest on the newly renamed paid leave bill and other issues in the Legislature . How are things looking in terms of the Freedom Index? Paul recently wrote a blog post that was picked up by the Santa Fe New Mexican that the process in Santa Fe stinks. MLG plans a special session to deal with Trump cuts, but Medicaid is in dire need of reform. What does it all mean?: Paul will be discussing tax reform at an event this weekend w/ AFP. If you have a chance to come out on Saturday Paul will talk state taxes and there will be a separate presentation on the Trump tax cuts.…

On this week's interview Paul sits down with attorney, activist, and author Ilya Shapiro. Shapiro worked at the libertarian Cato Institute for more than a decade and attempted a career change to Georgetown Law School. Sadly, a factually accurate but "controversial" post on social media got him into hot water and caused nationwide controversy including at Georgetown Law. The dustup caused Ilya to look elsewhere for employment and also resulted in his new book "Lawless: The Miseducation of America's Elites." You don't want to miss this informative conversation!…

Paul and Wally share the latest from the Roundhouse. Paid Family Leave is revised and heading for the House floor. HB 417 a revised alcohol tax of 6% has passed through the House Tax Committee on partisan lines. Free speech is under attack in Santa Fe: https://errorsofenchantment.com/new-mexico-s-b-85-a-legally-dubious-speech-chilling-proposal/ In a bit of good news SB 4 (net zero) was tabled in the Senate Finance Committee . RGF's president had an article in National Review about the disaster that would be Deb Haaland as Gov. of New Mexico. Former Las Cruces Mayor may run for Gov . He says he's "do things 90% differently than MLG." Will changes to New Mexico voting law impact this race? Paul and Wally discuss. Despite numerous dire challenges facing New Mexico the Legislature has no solutions besides shoveling money into various "permanent funds." New Mexico now has $61 billion under SIC control. Another fabulous Trever cartoon highlights (just some) of the good bills that get no love from the hyper "progressives" in Santa Fe. Sadly, plenty of bad bills ARE moving quickly.…

I testified yesterday on a bill that would eliminate New Mexico's income tax. Here's what I said and here's what happened. Speaking of zero income tax states, IN & OUT burger chain moves to Tennessee from California. PFML will finally be considered in its 2nd committee on Wednesday. Paul and Wally discuss what that means. NM Democrats seem to have settled on a plan to raise alcohol taxes. SB 139 which would have eliminated MLG's EV mandate was defeated in its first committee on partisan lines. A "study" claims UNM athletics creates a big economic benefit for New Mexico. We appreciate collegiate sports but take the study with a big grain of salt. How's the NM "Portfolio" doing? We have an update. New Mexicans spend 6th most on groceries as a percent of income according to a new report.…

On this week's interview Paul talks to return guest, author, and commentator Philip K. Howard about DOGE. For advocates of limited government DOGE is the most exciting effort to cut wasteful spending and bring functionality to the federal government that we have seen since at least the Grace Commission during the Reagan Administration. Howard and Gessing have a robust discussion of DOGE and numerous aspects of its mission and activities so far. They address whether Congress will go along with DOGE, whether there are more effective potential ways to streamline government, and whether this effort will ultimately succeed. More information about Philip K. Howard's work can be found at his Common Good website and at his recent Manhattan Institute paper .…

Super Bowl: game wasn't so great, but great to see America celebrated and Trump cheered. A bill relating to expanding Medicaid is moving through the session. This is madness! Now MLG is the education reformer? This one is a doozie! I went on KOAT 7 to discuss a crazy bill that would hand our tax dollars to UNM and NMSU to pay athletes. HB 11 PFML remains bottled up in committee. Some lawmakers even blame us for "bullying." A bill to increase royalties (taxes paid on oil and gas) is moving through the Legislature. A recent op-ed running across New Mexico by our policy analyst Carter Swanson ran in the ABQ Journal last week.…

A judge has ruled that MLG overreached in attempting to force districts to adopt 5 day school weeks. Paul and Wally discuss the latest from the Roundhouse. National Assessment of Educational Progress ( NAEP) scores came out last week. New Mexico again brings up the rear. Tennessee becomes 13th state in US to adopt universal school choice. According to the latest EV sales numbers New Mexico is nowhere near the mark. SB 139 introduced this session would overturn the Gov.'s EV mandates. Surprisingly New Mexico is not ranked very highly as a retirement destination. Ilya Shapiro will be speaking at an RGF event on Feb. 21.…

It's been a week since the Legislature began. Paul has been to Santa Fe twice and discusses what is happening. SB4 (net zero) is one of the craziest bills that will be moving this week. MLG gave her State of the State address. We have some thoughts. The Santa Fe New Mexican did a fact check of the address. RGF is part of a coalition working to defeat Paid Family Leave. Find out more here. Paul had an opinion piece in several media outlets on alcohol taxes and why raising them is unnecessary. New Mexico has the lowest median pay in America : DC workers now make nearly two and a half times as much as the average New Mexico resident. ABQ bus ridership continues to slowly rebound post-COVID. Mayor Keller's latest scheme in downtown Albuquerque is particularly dumb. The WNMU situation keeps getting worse.…

Donald Trump was (again) inaugurated president of the United States on Monday. Paul and Wally discuss and address issues w/ Biden's presidency. Biden issued more pardons on his way out the door including for Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley, and several family members. More pardons have been issued by Biden than any other president in American history. Biden even attempted to declare the Equal Rights Amendment the 28th amendment to the US Constitution. The LFC budget (like MLG's) is ALSO a dud for New Mexico taxpayers. Yes, New Mexico could/should eliminate NM's personal income tax. NM Women's Specialists to stop delivering babies at Presbyterian citing New Mexico's tax, malpractice, and Medicaid. Also, NM House Dems outline their health care plans for session (which don't do anything for the doctor shortage). Paul has been watching the TV show Landman. He recommends this short, profanity laced talk by actor Billy Bob Thornton about the importance of oil and gas.…
