Will you help restructure the Roundhouse?

Or will you let legislators do it? in meetings that can still be
held behind your back, "legally".

As far as I know, the first meeting of the Government Restructuring Committee was not videotaped by anybody.

The opportunity for you to participate meaningfully in decisions that affect your interests, is long gone. You can't go back and watch the record. There is no webcasting of interim committee no matter how consequential their work.

Why not, how was the war over robust webcasting lost?

The war need champions, and we had champions.

There were people from the dais and from the bleacher seats alike, who picked up the flag, charged into the wall, and created a breach.

They prevailed momentarily, and then lost. They lost because when they looked around to see who was with them, they found themselves standing nearly alone.

They had won the battle and lost the war.



If Rep Janice Arnold-Jones had been surrounded by those whose interests she was defending, we would not have lost the war.






If those who she was fighting for, had then joined the fight, we would not now have;

• legislative webcasting that is an affront to the citizens of New Mexico.
• a surrender of public records that is an affront to the citizens of New Mexico.
• deliberative meetings behind closed doors that are an affront to the citizens of New Mexico.

Rep Janice Arnold-Jones can lead restructuring. She has shown you the competence, she has shown you the character, and she has shown you the courage it will take to clean the rot out of the Roundhouse.

Let's not make the same mistake twice.
