February 28 - Second Half Podcast
It is Thursday, February 28, 2019. There are 16 days left in the 60 day legislative session. This is Tom Garrity of The Garrity Group Public Relations with the second halfpodcast, providing you an overview of the headlines and what reporters are covering during the second half of New Mexico’s Regular legislative session.
Here are the stories from the Roundhouse making news this Thursday.
We will start with the Albuquerque Journal today and their page 1 focus on House Bill Six. Reporter Dan Boyd’s story has a headline that reads” Proposed Tax Increases Head to House Floor, Bill would undo Richardson-Era Tax Cuts
Dan McKay’s story today reads “Senate Backs Ban on Coyote-Killing Contests,” … Milan Simonich also has coverage in the Santa Fe New Mexican, it reads “Bill Banning Coyote-Killing Contests Get Senate OK, Similar Measures Have Died in the House Twice in past four years.”
Both the Journal’s Dan Boyd and the Santa Fe New Mexican’s Andrew Oxford have stories focusing on the status on Ethic’s legislation moving through the session. Boyd’s story is titled “2ndHouse Committee Oks Ethics Panel Bill.” Oxford’s page 1 story reads “House Bill Seeks Transparency for Ethics Inquiries, New Language in Measure Makes Clear When Cases Would Become Public.”
Inside on Page A-4 Andrew Oxford has a story “Senate Panel Corrals Open Primaries Measure” – it focuses on the apparent fate of Senate Bill 418 which would have forced the respective political parties to pay for their own primaries and open those primaries to all voters.
Staying with the New Mexican, Robert Nott has a story about a “Dyslexia testing” bill advancing through the Senate
On the Opinion Pages both papers focus on education today…
· The Albuquerque Journal raises points related to the education debate and Charter Schools. The editorial asks the question: Why Are NM Lawmakers Declaring War on Charters?”
· The Santa Fe New Mexican addresses the grading system for public schools in their piece “Accountability in a New Era of School Reform.”
Finally, The Associated Press’ Russell Contreras, who celebrated a birthday yesterday, has a story that is getting a lot of statewide coverage “Legislators Honor Dolores Huerta”… story appears in different forms through out the state. Ms. Huerta is the Mexican-American Social Activist who formed a farmworkers union with Cesar Chavez.
That’s a wrap on stories related to the Legislative session on this Last day of February, 2019 … this is Tom Garrity have a great Thursday.
