The Hawai'i State Legislature and Olelo Community Media launched a live weekly television program from the State Capitol.
The 30-minute program titled "Live at the Legislature" premiered at 8:30 a.m. today and the show will thereafter air on Mondays at 8:30 a.m. (or Tuesdays if Monday is a holiday) until the Legislature adjourns on May 3. The program will air on channel 49.
For the Senate, today's featured legislators were Senate President Ron Kouchi and Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English.
"We’re always looking for ways to keep our constituents up to date on the events and issues of the Senate during the busy Legislative Session and this show will help us do just that," said Sen. J. Kalani English, Senate Majority Leader. "This is one more way we hope to encourage the public to actively participate in the legislative process and help us to make effective change and build stronger communities."
Each week the program will feature segments from the House Majority, House Minority and the Senate to provide perspectives from each chamber.
The live-stream of the weekly show will also be seen on OleloNet at www.olelo.com/49. Each show will be available at www.youtube.com/olelocm and through the Hawaii Government Public Network Channel 50. The House will post links on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/hihousedems/ .
