Dowd and Paul start out
talking about Dowd's recent opinion piece in the Albuquerque
Journal which discussed in detail some of the many challenges
facing higher education in New Mexico. Paul shares data from a recent story detailing
falling enrollment at the flagship university as well as statewide
and outlines some solutions to those issues. Finally, they discuss
the higher education bonds on this fall's ballot statewide and how
voters might consider holding bureaucrats' feet to the fire on
behalf of needed reforms.
Dowd and Paul discuss a
number of other issues from bonds for "tiny homes" for the homeless
on ballots from Bernalillo County to a transportation tax up for a
vote in a few northern counties.
Paul will be on KSFR, the public
radio station in Santa Fe on Election Day to help report on the
election returns in New Mexico and offering details on what those
mean for our State.
