Sixth video of New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson about Marijuana and drugs at speaking at Taos Mountain Film Festival in 2002: "Education and New Mexico Taxes". "America is America. It's based on better product. It's based on better service. Lower price. I submit to you that hgher education in this country is nothing more than a form of school choice. It's kids with tuition dollars. It's institutions out to attract those tuition dollars. Why have we allowed the government to run public education? It slays me. The government runs anything, it's just a little bit worse product, just a little bit worse service and it costs more. Yet we've allowed that to happen in the area of education. And with regard to our having development in New Mexico, it's no mystery. We're having our money taxed to death out of us here in this state. In percentage of income, we're like the highest-taxed state in the United States..."
After a screening of the movie "Coca Mama", a panel discussion was held featuring New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson on his marijuana policy, Sanho Tree (Institute of Policy Studies), and author Sally Denton. These very compelling discussions were held before a packed house at Taos Community Auditorium on October 12, 2002 as part of the Taos Mountain Film Festival.
