You'll find the agenda taped to the door!

If you have an interest in participating in the legislative process, you can go to Santa Fe, attend any one of a number of committee meetings, and then speak your piece to legislators.

For some people, that isn't as simple as it sounds.  For us folks in Albuquerque, it means a couple of hours on the road, more hours sitting through endless personal anecdotal evidence for and against, and then, occasionally, running out of time and finding the bill rolled over to another meeting.

Fortunately, meeting agendas are posted on the internet.  The posting doesn't guarantee that bill will be heard, only that no bill that isn't on the agenda, will be heard.

Sens Cisco McSorley and Richard Martinez

Now comes the Judiciary Committee, link.  Its Chair, Senator Richard Martinez, link, has posted his agenda for his meeting today, not on the internet, but on the door of Rm 321.  If you'd like to see it, to decide if you want to drive to Santa Fe or not, all you have to do is, drive to Santa Fe.

Unless the agenda on the door is hand written, or perhaps typed out on a typewriter, it was created on a computer.  And, at the same instant it was being printed, could have been posted on the internet.  (More or less; I get that it probably has to go through some channel).

Our servants are getting unruly.

Someone should do something.
