This seems like a worthwhile project/discussion in and of itself. People ought to be able to watch their government operate. CSPAN was a good step in the the right direction, but in general it is a tool for insiders.

Thomas was a hell of a lot more useful, but this is such a minor example of what it possible.

Sessions of federal, state, and local governments ought to be available online in various streaming video and audio only formats, along with text transcripts. The stuff should be broken down by committee and subject. It should be easy to search your local government for issues you are interested in and to follow the legislative process online.

All of this data IS being kept by someone, because judges USE the discussions that occur while a law is being passed to interpret it later.
