We covered Ray Begaye shocking comments yesterday and Mario Burgos got you caught up here. Looks like this isn’t going away anytime soon.
From Santa Fe New Mexican:
“You are now entering the New Mexico state Legislature. You have the right to remain silent — even though that’s probably not why your constituents elected you. Anything you say or do on the floor of the House or Senate and in committee meetings can be held against you — and probably will be if you do or say anything idiotic. You have the right to claim that your stupid act or statement was ‘taken out of context’ even if the public has the right not to believe your sniveling.”
If webcasting is going to be allowed in the Roundhouse, I believe our lawmakers deserve to be read their rights, something like the statement above, immediately before the sessions begins.
