State Republican Party political director Diego Espinoza this morning dropped off coffee and creamer for Democrats on the House Rules and Order of Business Committee.The gift is a gag after Rep. Ray Begaye earlier this week said he worried a webcast could catch him asleep at a committee.
Many Republicans on the committee say they support webcasting for sure. And while Begaye expressed concerns, he said yesterday he favors the webcasts, as did all the members of a subcommittee appointed by House Speaker Ben Lujan -- including the Democrats.
The panel is supposed to meet later today to decide what it should reccommend to the Rules Committee about webcasting. Ideas tossed out at a meeting Wednesday included doing a pilot project of webcasting some hearings.
The issue got started of course, after Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones on Monday caused a stir by webcasting from Taxation and Revenue Committee hearing without permission.
Her webcast continues here from time to time, depending on committee meetings.
