It has come to my attention that Secretary Hoskins has fired half of the state archivists today. Our archives are our state's legacy, our history. The archivists protect that critical information, ensuring its preservation for future generations. This drastic measure raises serious concerns about the future of our state's historical records and the ability of researchers, historians, and citizens to access and learn from them. The archivists play a vital role in maintaining, organizing, and providing access to these invaluable resources. I urge you to reconsider this decision and work towards finding alternative solutions to address any budgetary or operational concerns. The state's archives are a treasure trove of knowledge and identity, and it is our responsibility to protect and preserve them for the benefit of all. Please explore ways to restore the archivists' positions. I believe it is essential to prioritize the preservation of our state's history and ensure that the archives continue to thrive.
