Haussamen’s lawsuit comes after the N.M. Spaceport Authority blocked access to some records he sought during his 2017 journalistic investigation of the spaceport’s economic impact in New Mexico. The lawsuit seeks the release of information about how much customers are paying in rent and fees to use the spaceport and other documents.
Haussamen also discussed the Southern New Mexico political scene with Gessing and Muska, including an upcoming bond election that would raise property taxes in Las Cruces and the race to replace Steve Pearce in the U.S. House of Representatives.
