New Mexico in Focus; Cannabis & Conquistadors, PFAS Pollution Accountability, Air Force Plans
Description:
On this episode of New Mexico in Focus, everyone is talking about the heat wave, and we're going to do that too. The Line Opinion Panel also looks at the significance of the cannabis legalization date coming up in just a couple of weeks, as well as what's happened in the year since protests erupted over statues and monuments that honored New Mexico's controversial colonial past. After testifying to Congress about accountability for PFAS pollution, New Mexico’s Environment Secretary stops by to talk with Laura Paskus who also spoke with the U.S. Air Force, but there's still no clean up years after the military disclosed toxic chemicals beneath several installations. Guests: Dede Feldman (Former New Mexico State Senator), TJ Trout (Radio Host, KKOB Radio), Inez Russell Gomez (Santa Fe New Mexican), Melanie Stansbury (D, 1st Congressional District), Christopher Gierke (Remedial Project Manager, U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Center), and James Kenney (New Mexico Environment Secretary). Hosts: Gene Grant (NMiF Host), Laura Paskus (NMiF Environmental Correspondent), and Matt Grubs (NMiF Senior Producer).
