Transparently accountable government.

In principle; politicians and public servants must be accountable to the people. The power is ours, the resources are ours, and their public service is ours.

Accountability to the people is satisfied when there is a system in place, under which public servants are held accountable to (meaningful) standards of conduct and competence. The system must be impartial and powerful enough to hold even the most powerful politician or public servant accountable, even against their will.

Standards of conduct and competence are the prerogative of the people and not of their servants.

The proof is in the doing. For as long as government is not absolutely and completely transparent, the people do not have control over money and power that are fundamentally their own.

The waste of power and resources ends with inescapable accountability to unequivocal standards of conduct and competence, standards high enough to protect the public interests. Standards the least of which includes; telling the truth.

There is no reason in the world the New Mexico cannot be a model for the free world, of transparently accountable government.

Except that we don't have the want and the will, to make it so.
