Episode 107: Out of Control Homelessness With City Councilor Dan Lewis
Manage episode 424592826 series 3472870
This week, we’re joined by Albuquerque City Councilor Dan Lewis for a compelling discussion you won’t want to miss.
In this episode, we dive into some of the most pressing issues facing not only Albuquerque but the state and nation:
Sanctuary City Status: Despite rising crime and an open border, Albuquerque remains a sanctuary city. Councilor Dan Lewis sheds light on why this is the case and places the blame squarely on Mayor Tim Keller’s soft policies.
Homelessness Epidemic: Albuquerque’s homeless population is exploding. We explore how the city’s reputation for leniency under Mayor Keller is impacting law-abiding citizens. Mark argues that while the homeless can be helped, they must be willing to accept assistance and not be allowed to sleep on the streets.
Crime Crisis: Crime is a huge issue in Albuquerque. We ask Councilor Lewis what can be done to tackle this problem that the current mayor seems unwilling to address.
National Politics: We wrap up with a discussion on national politics, contemplating whether the Democrats might replace Joe Biden at this year’s convention due to his horrendous polling numbers.
