Leftenent Governor Delbert Hosemann issued the following statement.
The
Mississippi Senate will add Room 409, the second largest committee
room, to its webcasted spaces during the 2021 Legislative Session.
In
May, the Senate began webcasting meetings in Room 216, the former
Mississippi Supreme Court chambers where most committee
business is conducted on the Senate side of the Capitol. The COVID
pandemic accelerated the timeline for bringing committee rooms online.
“Increasing
our webcasting capabilities always been a priority because
Mississippians should have access to the business
going on in their Capitol, no matter where they are located in the
State,” Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann said. “With the pandemic,
we also have concerns about social distancing during the Session.
Bringing our committee rooms up to speed technology-wise
will help us spread out and reduce the possibility of infection while
being as transparent as possible.”
Hosemann said he will also continue to encourage committee chairs to post their agendas for meetings online at least 24
hours in advance of their meetings. For the first time last year, the Senate posted agendas on the Legislature’s website:
Senate Committee Agenda | MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE (ms.gov).
“We appreciate the Legislative Budget Office’s technology staff and Mississippi Public Broadcasting for helping us in this
effort,” Hosemann said.
Committee meetings in Rooms 216 and 409 can be viewed on the Legislature’s YouTube channel:
Mississippi Legislature - YouTube.
The channel will host both live and archived footage. The Mississippi
Legislature convenes the 2021 Session at 12 p.m. on Tuesday, January 5,
2021.

The real work will still get done in the private rooms at high-class restaurants and paid for by the lobbyists. The results of most significant legislation is preordained well before it even gets introduced. We will never be privy to the real political powers.

If you don’t like it then you can always move to Venezuela or North Korea. I assure you that we representatives of the aristocracy will not notice you left.
Will there be live streaming from Tico's too? Asking for a friend.
"Will there be live streaming from Tico's too? Asking for a friend."
Gawd that would be hilarious.
It's always been funny to watch the leaders of the Praetorian Guard walk through Ticos's.
About 30 minutes later, the rank and file provincials ( rednecks with cheap ass suits) follow them into the
secret back room.
I always get a kick of the comments from the wait staff when that procession is over.
Hosemann will do anything to put himself on a stage for all to see.
