On this week's episode Paul and Wally discuss legislation (HB
85) being put forth by Rep. Damon Ely to both stop local
governments from adopting Right to Work ordinances and to allow
forced union membership. Wally and Paul discuss issues with the
bill and how it would undermine the efforts of RGF and others
alongside with local governments to increase worker freedom. As
Paul notes McKinley and Sierra Counties have adopted Right to Work
ordinances.
Paul and Wally then discuss the latest Albuquerque Public
Schools enrollment declines and budget information along with a new
lawsuit against the proposed tax hike.
Paul and Wally address new legislation that would impose
income limits on the lottery scholarship program. Paul outlines
reforms the RGF sees as preferable.

Starr.
