670 Issues and Legislation Impacting New Mexico’s Restaurant Industry – Carol Wight

On this week’s Tipping Point interview Paul sits down with regular guest Carol Wight Executive Director of the NM Restaurant Association. Paul and Carol begin by discussing issues with the City of Albuquerque over the City’s incorrect (by admission) calculation of its minimum wage law. Carol explains why this is not “restaurant greed,” but actually an issue of fairness between front-of-the-house and back-of-the-house workers.

They discuss issues in the upcoming 2025 legislative session, most especially paid family leave. They address other issues in the upcoming legislative session as well including New Mexico’s generally anti-business political climate. Check out this interview, the last of 2024!
