There is a bill floating around in Santa Fe,
that would open conference committees to public scrutiny.
According to Steven Terrel, link,
Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez said;
"... opening conference committees would encourage members to get together away from the Capitol to decide on the bills that go to conference.
In other words,
if we pass a law that they have to show us what
they are doing with our power, and with our resources,
they will ignore it.
If we pass a law that prohibits secret deal making in conference
committees, they will do it anyway.
And they are so cocky and so arrogant, that
they will tell you right to your face that
they will do it anyway.
After all,
who in the hell do you think you are,
to be telling them, what to do?
