On this week's podcast interview Paul talks to Jason
Espinoza. Jason does lobbying in the New Mexico Legislature as well
as at the City of Albuquerque.
Jason and Paul discuss the recently-completed special
session of the Legislature which resulted in various budget
cuts as well as some assistance for small businesses and
police/criminal justice reforms. Overall Paul and Jason agree that,
despite serious transparency issues/concerns the Session was
reasonably successful.
Then, Paul and Jason turn their attention to the sick leave
mandate being considered in the City of Albuquerque and how that
anti-business ordinance would hit businesses at a time when many of
them are just recovering from being shut down or are STILL shut
down by the Governor's orders.
