The PA Senate Journals Are Up!!!!!

The Pennsylvania Senate announced recently that the Senate Journal would be published online, with a month or so lag. I was skeptical, thinking it would take an extraordinarily long time to get the whole thing up and running. Au contraire!!! You can now view the Senate Journal from January 2005 to mid-February 2006. This will allow voters to track what their senators are doing and saying and generally keep up with what is going on there. Granted, few will on a regular basis but at least is someone takes an interest they can slog through if they want. It will certainly help give at least the semblance of some transparency. I salute the Senate on taking this step.

Maybe the House will take notice????
