Poison Not Bad by Kenneth L Dixon at West Lake
In a reflective column, Kenneth L Dixon likens himself to Socrates, arguing that gadflies to power provoke scrutiny. He recounts government inquiries he faced from White House staff to local officials, noting indictments for defaming officials that ended in acquittal or dropped charges. He preserves the image of Socrates as democracy’s father while admitting the toll of public scrutiny and legal costs.

New Appellate Court Urged in New Mexico Amendment
Chief Justice David Carmody spoke for the Chaves County Bar Assn urging New Mexico voters to pass Constitutional Amendment No. 5. The measure would create a three or more judge Court of Appeals to relieve the Supreme Court by handling designated cases and allowing the high court to focus on statewide matters and constitutional interpretation. He warned the Supreme Court backlog and delays risk fairness.
