April Public Hearings

http://www.mass.gov/legis/#hear_mark, this link will take you to the relevant page for Public Hearings on the Gov Website. You must also check the Senate Clerks office and House Clerks office on any given day, as they are not always posted on this link. They should be but don't count on it. It is up to each Committee to let the Bulletin office know if they are having a Public Hearing. If you do not see it tell the Committee Chair. If three people in the community want to file a complaint to the Atty Generals office they can for any violation of public notice on public meetings.

Week ending April 12, 2009

Happy Easter! Sweet Passover! Lot's of Family!

Well this week there is so much crammed into the schedule, the week before Taxes are filed and such big holidays are happening is it any wonder people get suspicious of the goings on at the Statehouse?????? Well so this is cause for the need to have all the public hearings taped!
