Over at the gote there is an odd discussion about the replacement of the commissioners-now, while I won't bet the house on it, yeah there is probably going to be a house cleaning at the commission. Bill Hume of the N.M. Governor's office sent a nice letter which he said the idea of appointing "retired professional railroaders" was an excellent proposal. Now, with the election finally over--I have proposed a meeting between Ritter and Richardson to appoint those new commissioners and to take the C&TSRR in a new direction. In the August Commission meeting, I was attacked by Cargo for "speculating" about the election and the future of the commission---not a bad job of calling the election-huh? And any one in contact with Mike Swanson-who posts at the gote-tell him to email me, I have his answer. Sorry to have ruined the day for some of you.
