COMMITTEE
HEARING LIST
FOR A LIST OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS
if
you have trouble getting there..here is my tip:
just type massgov
into the task bar…then you will see a search engine of some kind. You want State of Massachusetts
main site..when there…look for Legislative on left column then hit General Court, that will bring you to the Blue Screen
for the Statehouse..scroll down you will find Committees and Hearings..hit whichever you need…if you hit hearings it
will tell you what hearing is coming up that day..48 hours is the time frame for posting..these hearings but don’t count
on it…and if you happen to just need to go in always check in RM 428 on the counter for the hand written copy…
or the Statehouse News bulletin put out daily near their door around the corner..or… if your one of those
elete rich get a subscription to statehouse news for about 300 per year.

Catch of the day, video news tapes for documentary and educational purposes. Training is available
and welcome. All tapes can be purchased and reproduced freely. No copyright at this
time. As public meetings are our domain we welcome invitations to tape a meeting for you. Just
donate the tapes and we will tape for free. The only courtesy we reserve is to be given proper credit for
videography. Thank you.
When money rules our government and it does, someone has to remind the rest
the ones who came here were not all rich, and the greatest nation began with nothing at all and arrived at what we see now.
The picture is bigger than the money you see. For to those who have it in the
power of their hand to help and do not it shall be counted against him. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity
to make this happen.
I believe I have helped remove the
sting of “cereal” greedy news bites and refreshed the stale air with a bigger breath of fresh air.
I believe taping puts a little light into a dark corner of the world. With the
new light cost effective light bulbs straining your eyeballs anyone attending Hearings will attest .
If you liked what I did all year, please recommend I be included in this new project long overdue.
I have not met one citizen who does not like what I have been doing.
I have lots of ideas waiting to happen.. Thus I have tried to put the list requested together.
I also am shocked at the quantity I completed requesting weekly permissions from the Committee Chairmen
who seemed puzzled at my intentions Thanks for letting me invade the space. I am even
more determined to see this project to completion. I believe the founding fathers wanted
access to public meetings to be an integral part of out unique culture. I have learned so much from the
experience. I wish every school kid could have hands on experience like I have had this past year.
I bet you would not believe I did not like history classes. I only remember passionate
kitchen talk about current events at table.
One of the best fruits of this project is manners. You would not believe how nice people behave
on tape.
Free speech has new forum…….and
it’s all caught on tape. Now just to get cable access to put them up.
