843 Gregg Hull on NM’s Dependency Problem, New Mexico 7th Highest for Tax Collections, Uranium Mining Ban and more

Gubernatorial candidate Gregg Hull was recently criticized (unfairly) for his remarks, but Paul believes Hull is 100% correct on NM’s dependency problem.

The Tax Foundation recently ranked New Mexico 7th highest for tax collections. It’s new information, but the data is from four years ago (FY 2023). New Mexico is likely close to number 1 now.

Trump’s plan to give every adult American $5,000 IF he and Republicans get elected in both houses is not a good one.

Land Commissioner Garcia Richard bans uranium mining on state lands. Paul and Wally discuss what it means to be a fiduciary and whether New Mexico can go “zero carbon” without nuclear energy.

A new report says $7.5 billion is needed to address NM’s roads problem. It just so happens that NM has $7.6 billion in unspent capital outlay $$$. Paul discusses the options and whether the Legislature will try for a gas tax increase.
