The Line: Governor Martinez On Crime In New Mexico

January 19, 2018 – The Line opinion panelists continue their look at Governor Martinez’ State of the State address, with a focus on her points about crime and public safety. During her speech, the Governor introduced a police officer whose badge stopped a bullet fired from the gun of a career criminal recently bonded out by a judge. Gene Grant and the Line look at the Governor’s legacy in matters not only of crime, but also of punishment.

Line Panelists:
Merritt Allen, Vox Optima LLC
Dan Foley, former House minority whip
Sophie Martin, attorney
Harry Van Buren, professor in UNM Anderson School of Management
