Tennessee's government, or legislature at least, look like it is opening its doors a little bit more. For years, our state government has been infamous for their secrecy and fear of revealing what goes on inside legislative chambers. Now, the legislature has finally moved into the digital age and everyone can see what goes on.
You can now view the House of Reps sessions online. Can you believe this? They are actually allowing everyday citizens view House sessions?! This baffles me after the long history of General Assembly secrecy. Maybe the state is making baby steps into the 20th century? Click here to check it out. Click on "House" then on "Video Streaming."
Represenative Stacey Campfield, a Republican from Knoxville, has started his blog. This isn't just any other blog, though. This guy actually posts the behind-the-scenes action of the legislature. It's quite interesting reading what actually goes on; the things that we don't read about in the newspaper. This has, of course, caused much controversy. Many fellow legislatures do not enjoy Rep. Campfield for his blatant revealing of House activies. Click here to check out his blog, Camp4u.
