Hi All, Just thought you might be interested that the Senate Government Operations Committee (which is reviewing the same day registration and absentee ballot regulations among others) is thinking about having a public hearing using the Vermont Interactive Television (VIT) system. They are looking into having it in the late afternoon, possibly on Thurday Feb 25th. It could prove to be an easy way for clerks to testify before the committee without having to all drive to Montpelier. If it works well, the committee may consider using the VIT system more in the future. I also am encouraging the committee members to subscribe to this listserve so they can keep abrest of some of the thoughts regarding current legislation. Have a great weekend. Best Pete :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Brownell EMail: [log in to unmask] University of Vermont Phone: 802-656-5711 Department of Continuing Education FAX : 802-656-1347 460 South Prospect St, Burlington VT 05401 WEB : www.uvm.edu/~pbrownel --------------------------------------------------------------------------
