scroll down please to the bottom for meetings posted..

or go straight to www.mass.gov/legis, that will bring you the blue screen main page of the General Court..where you want to be..

That will tell you all you can find that is up to date and current. Things that are under the radar are not found here remember.  So when you get more edacated to state house ...you will go further...like me

PLEASE SUPPORT DOCKET 4527 FILED BY REP. BRAD HILL, TO REQUIRE THE LEGISLATIVE LEVEL TO VIDEO RECORD ALL PUBLIC MEETINGS AND PUT UP ON CABLE ACCESS...CALL RULES YOUR REPS AND YOUR SENATORS ASAP..

MEETINGS POSTED ARE NOT ALWAYS SURE. CHECK WITH COMMITTEE TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN CANCELED.  HUMAN IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FALLIBLE AS WELL. WE DO THE BEST WE CAN , RIGHT FTD..
Things are beginning to hop now at the Statehouse, next week has a slew of meetings so keep posted..tapes can be ordered for a small fee and if you pay at the hearing you will get free postage when ordering..ja posted 9 11 07 4 AM

September 13, there are three committee hearings on the Mass Gov General Court site listed.  Today I will not be taping.  I had some problems with my camera yesterday and today is solve the problem day.  Sorry to Committee on Education as I had planned to tape that hearing.

If there is anyone wishing to tape who has a camera out there please contact me as I will make arrangements for you for permission.   As a Comflm Registry member I am hoping a standard will be in place soon to welcome and not harass community freelancers who wish to participate in their documentary project of keeping the public record.  Until our Statehouse takes the idea seriously and regards this information with respect we will be buffeted at any given moment with refusals.  Please support docket 4527 submitted by Rep. Brad Hill, of Essex which will make it a law  Public Hearings at the Legislative level are videotaped and put up on cable access for public viewing.

TYPE;  http://www.mass.gov/legis/comm/dlsep11.htm, to find the bills on any given day..did you "get it"?  ok..pay attention! the date is key..
always three for month always two for day.. you can pull up any date past or future {providing they are in compliance with 48 hour notice}  Now isn't that special.  That tip took me three years to find so I hope you appreciate it.  JA posted 9 11 07 5:13 AM  see how much work this is?
