Lawmakers are expected to debate that idea this session. Also, we hear how some state lawmakers want to encourage companies to bring more high tech jobs in New Mexico.            <\/p>\n<p>Also this week, volunteers in Albuquerque are counting homeless individuals. Survey Week happens every two years and gives government officials and service providers a way to measure the issue in the city. We go to the Albuquerque Rescue Mission, where Pastor John Hill shares his insights from nearly 10 years of working downtown with men, women and children who are homeless or struggling to make ends meet. We&#8217;ll also hear how nonprofits are working together to bring people from the streets into more stable housing.<\/p>\n<p>Host Gene Grant and The Line panelists discuss the upcoming elections for the APS school board, a proposal at NMSU to limit access to public records, and tent cities for homeless individuals that are getting attention in Albuquerque and Las Cruces.<\/p>\n<p><em>GUESTS:<\/em><br \/>\nRep.
