Ind. Gov't. - House Ways & Means committee meetings NOT online
On Nov. 21st the ILB published an entry noting House Speaker Brian Bosma's announcement that House Ways & Means committtee meetings would be online. The W&M Committee is holding three hearings in December (see W&Ms agenda), with important testimony that many Hoosiers would be interested in. From the announcement last month, I assumed that these W&Ms hearings would be broadcast and archived online via this location. But there is no sign of them.
Here is the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reporter Niki Kelly's story, headlined "Legislative leaders see tax relief differently," on yesterday's W&Ms hearing, and on the 2005 Legislative Conference, an all-day seminar on the upcoming session that the ILB, among hundreds of others, attended yesterday. (Here is the agenda.) Kelly's story begins:
INDIANAPOLIS – House Republicans on Thursday kicked off a series of special Ways and Means Committee meetings to explore the possibility of providing limited property tax relief for homeowners in the upcoming legislative session.But the plan doesn’t appear to have much traction in the Senate, where fiscal leader Sen. Robert Meeks, R-LaGrange, told attendees at a political conference earlier in the day that the state needs to own up to its current obligations before taking on new ones.
