On this week's podcast conversation Paul and Wally discuss: 

The latest COVID maps are out and the situation seems to have stalemated or even worsened. Will the State change its metrics and if so, how?  The deposition of NM's Health Secretary throws "science" into question. Reporter Patrick Hayes questions Scrase who tap dances. NY Times says wearing masks outdoors makes no sense.  Census data are out including data on New Mexico's slow population growth and national population shifts.   Sierra County news article uses RGF data to question Spaceport. Of course, SpaceX is running ahead. Bernalillo County building taking shape with name emblazoned across Albuquerque skyline. Las Cruces City Council considering plastic bag ban. RGF op-ed in Las Cruces paper argues against this.  RGF publishes payroll for NM cities & will continue to roll out additional data.
