FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE Erickson: Online "Citizen Access Page" a Source for Open Government Access bills, statutes, Senate votes and lobbyist reports via www.senatorerickson.com Drexel Hill – Pennsylvania Senate votes and debates, as well as bills and statutes, can now be accessed online via one site, the Citizen Access Page, Sen. Ted Erickson (R-26) announced today. Visitors to Senator Erickson's website, www.senatorerickson.com, can click on the Citizen Access Page to look up bills and amendments, review text of floor debates, and see how senators voted. Information is available for votes in committee and the full Senate. The Citizen Access Page also helps users track who is lobbying, who individual lobbyists are representing, and how they are spending their money. They can also see the number of clients each lobbyist has and what each one is spending per client. The site guides users through the process, under the headings "How to View Senate Votes and Debates," "How to Search Pennsylvania Statutes," and "How to View Lobbyist Disclosure Reports." "Citizens have a right to access this information, and the Citizen
Access Page is a great starting point for navigating the various online
sources where the information is found," said Erickson. "This is just
one of the reform measures enacted this year. From restricting
late-night voting sessions, to giving legislators and the public more
time to understand changes in a bill before it comes up for vote, it's
part of the ongoing effort to make the legislative process more open and
accessible." CONTACT: |
