Tipping Point New Mexico Episode 59: The Democrats and their plans for the 2019 session

On this week’s Tipping Point Paul sits down with Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas.

Maestas represents a portion of Albuquerque’s West Side. Maestas, a Democrat, is among the longest tenured members of the House.

Among the many topics Moe and Paul discuss are New Mexico’s poverty and why it remains relatively poor, the ideological makeup of the House and how that will comport with the more conservative Senate, and New Mexico’s nature as a relatively rural state.

Moe and Paul have a robust conversation about the oil and gas industry and its role in New Mexico, education policy and spending, film subsidies and economic development, and criminal justice policy (including marijuana legalization).
