Episode Synopsis

The Line opinion panel returns in this week's episode, to look at the implications of the New Mexico Republican Party’s decision to hold its spring convention in Texas. Party leaders say limitations on gatherings in New Mexico forced them to cross the border. The group also talks about the return of the job search requirement for those receiving unemployment support, as well as the potential for an avalanche of evictions as a federal moratorium has been successfully challenged in court. We also throw in a little bonus conversation about the apparent bad break up between one of the state's most high profile events, Balloon Fiesta, and major sponsor Canon.
Line Panelists:
Dan Foley, Former House Minority Whip
