State Senate to broadcast live on the Internet

By Globe Staff

You can find a million things on video on the Internet. But one thing that hasn't been available is live video of the Massachusetts Senate.

That all changed yesterday, when Senate President Therese Murray, a Plymouth Democrat, announced that formal Senate sessions will be broadcast live on the Web.

"We are elected to represent the people of the Commonwealth and they should be able to have greater access to the legislative process," Murray said yesterday in a statement. "Webcasting our sessions will give them that access."

The House has already made its sessions available. People will also be able to look at past sessions.

The webcasts can be accessed through the Legislature's site at mass.gov/legis/ or through www.masslegislature.tv.
