On this week’s podcast conversation, Paul and Wally discuss the rise of Omicron and how it is driving concern and “lockdown” rhetoric in the Biden Administration and other large organizations. So far Gov. MLG has NOT embraced new policies in addition to her ongoing universal indoor mask mandate.

Wally and Paul share their thoughts on the apparent “death” of Build Back Better.

The special session of the Legislature has concluded in Santa Fe. What happened in terms of redistricting?  Also, has the medical malpractice situation been worked out?

The Santa Fe New Mexican’s editorial board has a dire message for Albuquerque. Paul and Wally discuss.
