\"\"<\/a>State Rep. Dennis Kintigh<\/a> says he\u2019s interested in joining Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones<\/a> in webcasting audio and video live from House committee meetings, but he\u2019s not quite ready to commit to doing it.<\/p>\n

Kintigh, a Republican from Roswell, says he has asked for some help with getting equipped to webcast and needs some training on how to do it. He\u2019s also hoping it won\u2019t be too distracting from his committee work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe engineer in me wants to test it out before I move forward or commit to doing this,\u201d Kintigh said. \u201cAlso, I have not discussed this with the committee chairs, so I\u2019m not sure if it will be permitted.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Santa Fe Reporter<\/a> reported that Kintigh and Candy Spence Ezzell<\/a>, another Roswell Republican, might start webcasting, and that the tech guy who helped Arnold-Jones start the legislative webcasting revolution in Santa Fe had already equipped laptops for both.<\/p>\n

Kintigh sits on the Health and Government Affairs<\/a> and Judiciary<\/a> committees. Ezzell sits on the House Energy and Natural Resources<\/a> and Labor and Human Resources<\/a> committees.<\/p>\n

Kintigh said he wants to webcast committee meetings because he believes in transparency. He said that\u2019s why he has sponsored House Bill 452<\/a>, which would require all state and local government agencies in New Mexico develop a budget database on the Department of Finance and Administration\u2019s Web site that would make all financial information about government in New Mexico easily accessible to the public.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s right about needing the permission of committee chairs. The House resolution<\/a> approved earlier in the session allowing official audio webcasting from the House floor also gives committee chairs the discretion to decide whether to allow webcasting of their committee meetings.<\/p>\n
