NC General Assembly for Dec 16th

Just because the General Assembly of North Carolina is not in session doesn't mean that nothing is happening. Hearings are being held, reports are being given, and part of the agenda for the next legislative session is being formed by what transpires now.

It is my intention to more fully monitor, and report on, the NC General assembly during this next session beginning on January 28, 2009 using a new web platform that will allow people in every legislative district in North Carolina to learn about what is going on in Raleigh, and participate in that process. If you want to participate, get in touch with me, and we'll move forward from there. The initial framework is about half-completed now, and will be ready in time for the swearing in ceremonies on January 28, 2009.

Here is what is on the calender for today in the legislative building in Raleigh, NC: [**9.09am** I guess I won't be listening. The stream has been shutdown.
**9.19am** The stream started while the meeting was in progress.]
